wait, i'm chasing you

It was still a working day when I got home, and my dad hadn't finished get off work yet, and my mother probably went shopping for groceries, so she wasn't home either.

It's okay not to be at home.

Hao Chen asked Tao Yi to take the jar of plum wine to his house first. After all, the origin of the jar of plum wine was unknown to his mother, and he was angry with himself, so it was easy to get hurt.

Hao Chen didn't want to take the risk.

He sat by the bed, stared at the pottery bowl for a while, opened the drawer, locked it in, held the peace amulet in his hand, thought for a while, and put it back in his pocket.

Hao Chen lay on his back on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Accustomed to the noisy environment every day, the room seemed extraordinarily empty and quiet.

So quiet, he thought of Chen Yiran again.

He still wanted to find him, but apart from his name, he knew nothing about him.

You really don't miss me at all...

After Chen Yiran left without saying goodbye, Hao Chen always thought of this sentence, wanted to ask him this question, and also wanted to hug him.

At first, he thought that the future would be long, but in the end, he might not want a hug anymore.

There was a sound of opening the door, Hao Chen sighed and walked out of the room slowly.

The woman who was changing shoes at the door froze for a moment when she saw him, and then her eyes froze.

Hao Chen looked at her and almost felt that she was going to throw the vegetables in his hand at him in the next second.

"Mom." Hao Chen opened his mouth.

His voice sounded like a switch, Wang Lin turned around, as if deliberately ignoring him, sorting out the vegetables she bought.

Hao Chen stood for a while, seeing that Wang Lin didn't intend to talk to him, he planned to go back to the room and stay there.

As soon as she turned around, she heard Wang Lin say coldly, "What are you doing back? You are so chic outside, why are you coming back?"

Hao Chen frowned: "I'm not..."

"Come back and see if your mother is dead?" Wang Lin didn't give him a chance to speak, and snorted coldly, "I'm not mad at you, you're quite disappointed..."

"I never thought about it that way!" Hao Chen interrupted her irritably.

"Didn't you think about it? Which of the things you did didn't mean that? You just hoped that I would die soon, and no one would care about you, so you would be free!" Wang Lin raised her voice and stared at him tightly.

"What good does it do me to think so?" Hao Chen also raised his voice, "Obviously you want to think this way yourself! Why do you have to force it on me!"

"If you don't do it, will I think so?"

Wang Lin stared at him relentlessly: "Is it you who ran away from home? Didn't you just think so? My mother won't let me go, so I'll just go and show her. Didn't you just want to let me go?" Am I having a bad time?"

"I owe you all my life! I should be angry with you! I'm cheap, what do I care about you? If you're not my son, what do I care about you?! What's the result? I'm not thankful for my efforts, and I suffer from my son every day Qi, why did I raise you so big?"

The more Wang Lin spoke, the more excited she became, her voice filled the room with a buzzing echo.

"Then why didn't you strangle me?" Hao Chen looked at her, feeling powerless in his heart.

It's always like this, it's always possible to say something like this without saying a few words, does it make sense...

Wang Lin didn't see the emotion in his eyes at all, and said with a cold snort, "You're only promising so much, then go to hell, don't expect me to pity you."

Hao Chen glanced at her, opened the door and walked out.

Before he reached the elevator, he heard the door behind him being reopened aggressively.

"Get out! If you get out, don't come back! I just raised you, a white-eyed wolf..."

The voice behind him continued, but the elevator was still on the first floor. Hao Chen's frowning did not show any sign of relief. He kept pressing the elevator button, and finally knocked it up with his palm, and walked quickly to the stairs.

Finally those voices were cut off.

Standing in the community, watching the children coming home from school chatting about the characters in the game and the newly bought skins, Hao Chen suddenly missed that not-so-developed town.

He was sitting on a bench in the community, his fingers tracing the texture of the peace talisman.

You asked me to go back, but I really don't want to come back at all...

What's the point of me coming back.

Hao Chen sat for a while, then walked out aimlessly, until he received a call from Tao Yi.

"Brother Chen? Where are you?"

Hao Chen looked up at the buildings around him.

"Yifeng Building is here."

"Oh, then wait for me, I'll go find you."

Tao Yi spoke quickly, afraid that the other party would hang up the phone suddenly.

"Ah."

Hao Chen picked up the phone and sat by the nearby flower bed waiting for him.

Knowing that Chen Yiran's departure was somehow related to Tao Yi, Hao Chen didn't talk to him for a long time.

Angry is angry of course, and he doesn't like all this presumptuousness of being nice to him.

He believed that Tao Yi was really worried about him, but it made him feel even more uncomfortable because of this.

But he doesn't want to go home now, but since he has nowhere to go, it seems that he can only stay with Tao Yi temporarily.

He also thought, if Tao Yi hadn't said that, would he and Chen Yiran have other ways to go, but...

He looked at the information on Chen Yiran's business card that Tao Yi had pushed to him on WeChat, but no matter how many times he clicked, there would be no results, and Chen Yiran restricted the way to add it.

He is like a person who has a map, can find the house number, but has no key to open the door.

"Did you quarrel with your godmother again?"

Tao Yi gave him one of the breads he just bought, Hao Chen took it, and responded with a lack of energy.

"Ah."

"Then are you going back at night?" Tao Yi asked, "If you don't want to go back, you can go to my house first. My mother is on a business trip for the past two days, and she should be back tomorrow. Let her have a good chat with her godmother when she comes back. It's time for you to go back."

Tao Yi's house has always been Hao Chen's refuge, and when he had conflicts with his mother, it was the only place where his mother would not be more angry if he went there.

"Yes." Hao Chen stood up and walked towards Tao Yi's house.

"Huh? Just wait for me." Tao Yi hurriedly followed behind him.

Hao Chen still didn't pay him much attention along the way, and when he got home, Tao Yi put all the wine in the house on the table.

Hao Chen froze for a moment, then frowned and looked at him: "What are you doing?"

"Brother Chen, I think we need to talk." Tao Yi said seriously, "We're at home anyway, so we can have a good drink."

Hao Chen stared at the beer can for a while, then lowered his eyes.

"Let's talk, don't drink."

"Alright..."

Tao Yi moved the wine back one by one.

"Brother Chen, I know it's just an excuse for me to say anything more, but now that I've reached this point, I want to know what your future plans are?" Tao Yi looked at him, "Are you still going to find him?"

Hao Chen didn't look at him, and gave a faint "hmm".

"How do I find it? What if I can't find it?" Tao Yi stretched out his hand to block his sight, "Don't stare at me, these are all problems, we have to solve them."

"It's almost time for the art test." Hao Chen thought for a while, and replied without adding any explanation.

"You want to look for each school?" Tao Yi stared at him.

"Ah."

Tao Yi was stunned for a while, then smacked his lips and nodded: "Okay, it's a way..."

"Then what if..."

"There is no chance, if you can't find it, keep looking until you find it."

Hao Chen frowned, not really wanting to continue this topic.

Tao Yi was silent for a while, then sighed lightly.

"Brother Chen, I know you don't like to hear what I'm going to say, but I just want to know what you think."

Tao Yi said without expecting any response from Hao Chen.

Since that day, Hao Chen's personality seemed to have suddenly become iced, he didn't like to talk, and he didn't care about others, his coldness was even worse than before.

"Shen Yiman likes you, do you know?"

This is the first time Tao Yi discussed Shen Yiman with him, but he didn't intend to listen to his opinion on the little girl.

"I always thought that the two of you could become a typical representative of a golden boy and a jade girl. I'm not saying that Brother Ran is not good, but at that time, when I thought about what would happen between you, it was still a bit hard to accept." Tao Yi laughed at himself. Laughed and took a sip of water.

"I know you don't like to hear that, but I really never thought about it. I actually regret that you can reach this level with Brother Ran. I regret it when I saw you so sad that day, so later if I I will try my best to help you if I can make up for it, but don't be bored by yourself, I really feel very uncomfortable..."

Hao Chen looked at him indifferently for a long time, then sighed.

"I see…"

Not long after, the art test training started ahead of schedule.

But for a few days, Hao Chen's state did not adjust.

Halfway through the film review, I would not be able to write any more, and the impromptu review would always get stuck. The training time, which was not long in the first place, was almost delayed by him.

As the teacher of their class, Jiang Lin felt a headache when he saw him. After all, only the right medicine can be prescribed. Jiang Lin finally couldn't help but stop him before get out of class ended.

"Hao Chen."

"Brother Lin." Hao Chen watched him stand upright, looking like a good student.

Originally, this kid was a good student, but this thought made Jiang Lin a little more depressed. A good potential stock, how could he be misfortune after a summer vacation...

"Is there anything after class?" Jiang Lin asked.

"It's nothing." Hao Chen lowered his eyes, basically knowing why Jiang Lin called him.

"Then go to the office after class, let's talk."

"it is good."
