Yu Liangmu

Cheng Kai's home is in a nearby residential area, which is also a high-rise building. Judging from the geographical location and supporting facilities, he has managed to achieve a good living condition over the years.

From the convenience store to Cheng Kai's house, You Liangmu was silent all the way, the man seemed to have been emptied of his soul, not only his body was weak, but his spirit also flew to nowhere.

His phone rang several times in the middle, but he didn't answer any of them, and then he simply turned off the phone.

The man looked down at the blackened screen, his eyes were red, and the base of his tongue was grinding his teeth repeatedly.

"Aren't you going to answer?" Cheng Kai couldn't help asking him.

You Liangmu shook his head lightly, "Ah, it's nothing...it's just a scam call."

The man's face was ashen, and he seemed to have withdrawn a lot in a short period of time.

He was like a fish that was thrown ashore, struggling for death, his consciousness was frequently in disorder, and his mind was defensive and evasive. He had to admit that his subconscious was avoiding everything.

It would be nice if you didn't know anything.

He didn't know why this happened... the kind of trust that had been built up with great difficulty, which he thought could be relied on for survival, collapsed and shattered in front of him.

After returning home, Cheng Kai immediately gave him hot tea and brought a clean towel to wipe his face clean, "Did something happen to you?"

You Liangmu stared blankly, didn't answer his words, and cowered on the sofa, his whole body was like a tower that was about to collapse.

Cheng Kai felt pain in his heart, "If you think I can help, feel free to tell me."

"..."

There was still no response, Cheng Kai turned around, sighed silently, adjusted for a while, then turned to face You Liangmu again, forcing a relaxed smile on his face.

"Or, I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow to get some fresh air. Maybe you'll feel better."

When it was time to sleep, Cheng Kai tidied up a guest room for You Liangmu, which was clean, tidy, quiet and spacious.

He helped You Liangmu prepare everything, "I adjusted the water heater for you, and the clothes for a change of clothes are all new. The disposable toothbrush is on the shelf in the bathroom. Call me if you need anything, and I will host it next door." house."

You Liangmu said listlessly: "Hey, good...thank you."

This night, the bed, pillows and quilts were quite comfortable, but You Liangmu didn't sleep well, his nose was dry, his eyes and mouth were itchy, and his cervical spine and lumbar spine were aching.

Maybe it's because I've gotten used to having someone by my side for a while, let him hug, or let him cuddle.Now it's gone, and I can only touch the cold sheets when I reach out, it's like withdrawal, very uncomfortable.

On the second day, Cheng Kai got up early and made You Liangmu a warm breakfast.

"After breakfast, I'll take you out for a walk."

"Ah... don't you have to go to work?" You Liangmu couldn't eat, and the caramel toast in his mouth was tasteless.

"Today is the weekend." Seeing that You Liangmu had really lost his mind, Cheng Kai tried his best to be gentle, "And... you are so unhappy, I will accompany you to improve your mood."

It's rare for You Liangmu to be treated as a distinguished guest. Cheng Kai is so welcoming, warm and thoughtful, which really makes him very embarrassed.

Until Cheng Kai gave him his coat and wanted to help him put it on himself, You Liangmu finally felt that Cheng Kai's attitude towards the guests was a bit too kind.

"I'll do it myself..." The man took the coat and put it on himself.

Cheng Kai's expression froze, but he returned to normal in an instant, without any sign of overstepping the distance, and smiled at him: "Yeah."

The weather was sunny today, and even the weather forecast said it was a good day, but You Liangmu's face was still unsightly. When he left the apartment building, he was dazzled by the sun, and his eyes were a little sore.

He suddenly remembered that the velvet quilt he had hung on the balcony of Tang Yunqian's house hadn't been taken back yet. I wonder if it was wet by yesterday's rain, and it was quite expensive to send it for dry cleaning.

But after pausing for a second, he felt that these were no longer things he should consider.

"Cheer up, Yu Liangmu, my task today is to make you happy."

"Hey, you don't have to worry about me so much..."

"No, actually... I am very happy to do this."

Cheng Kai's words concealed a bit of hidden thought, but at this moment, You Liangmu's brain was not able to perceive the information, and he was like a puppet who was absent-minded.

Cheng Kai drove You Liangmu to a place that You Liangmu was somewhat familiar with.

In memory, You Liangmu felt that he had been to this place.He thought about it hard before he remembered where it was.

This was the high school that he missed. The man looked up, and he saw the words "T City No. [-] Middle School" written on the arched school gate.

The fragmentary memories in the old days were like a flood opening. He remembered that when he first came to this city, he passed by this high school once.

It was the beginning of June, the season of phoenix flowers blooming. It was hot, fiery, and youthful, suitable for a hearty college entrance examination, and a graduation that would never look back.

He has never experienced any of these.

The man asked Cheng Kai, "Uh, why did you bring me here?"

"I've been wanting to bring you here all these years, so it's good to have a look."

"Actually, I have been here, but I was not allowed to enter at that time, saying that I am not a teacher and student here."

Cheng Kai's throat felt rough, "It's okay this time, I'll take you in."

You Liangmu smiled helplessly, not taking it seriously, went to a nearby stall and bought two finger cakes, and gave one of them to Cheng Kai, "Thank you for taking me in."

They let him borrow and thought of him, but he had nothing to repay, and his family was empty, so he could only ask someone to eat a pancake.

Cheng Kai didn't mind at all, but thought he was being too polite, so he took it over, "You can stay as long as you want... I usually feel lonely living alone, and it's good to have someone to talk to once in a while."

You Liangmu gnawed on the finger cake, looked at the school gate, and imagined that he was also a high school student, wearing a white school uniform, with black hair and a uniquely shaped school badge embroidered on the left chest.Perhaps, there will also be an indelible high school years.

Instead of the poor and shabby self now, with a tail of debts hanging, being regarded as worthless by the person he likes, and can only be sent to others.

Cheng Kai saw the longing in You Liangmu's eyes.

He swallowed the pancakes two or three times, and said to You Liangmu, "Come on, let's go in and have a look."

"Ah?" You Liangmu thought he was joking.

"When have I lied to you?" Cheng Kai rolled his eyes, "I just asked you, do you want to go in and have a look?"

You Liangmu thought about it, but the previous experience of being rejected was too embarrassing. He didn't want Cheng Kai to accompany him to lose someone again, so he hesitated, "Is it okay? Uh, ordinary schools are not allowed to enter, right?"

"I said yes, yes."

Cheng Kai dragged him to the gate of the school gate, and asked the uncle who was sitting in the security booth if he could go in and have a look.

Uncle Security took a puff of cigarette and looked at them, "You are outsiders, so you can't go in casually."

"Just go in for a while, and come out after a few glances."

"No."

Cheng Kai put on a polite and kind-hearted look, and said in a very friendly voice, "Brother, please be accommodating, is it possible that we can carry a gas bottle in and hijack students? We graduated here, so we want to Go back to your alma mater."

Uncle Security had a pair of ferocious brows, like a vicious poor beast, "Brother, look at you like this, how many years have you graduated?"

"Fortunately, two or three years." Cheng Kai said sincerely.

The security guard shook his legs and narrowed his eyes, "Hey, you think I'm stupid."

You Liangmu was very embarrassed, pulled Cheng Kai's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "It's better to forget it..."

"How can it be forgotten?" Cheng Kai lowered his head slightly, his height was at the same level as You Liangmu, his eyes were clear and bright, and he looked at You Liangmu seriously.

In a daze, You Liangmu seemed to see the 15-year-old boy with bright eyes back then.

Cheng Kai seemed to make a very solemn promise, and said to him gently: "You Liangmu, as I said, I will help you accomplish whatever you want to do."

In the end, Cheng Kai really fulfilled his promise, relying on his sharp tongue, hard work, and bought two good cigarettes, the security guard finally let him go.

The two entered the school gate that looked like a city wall. It was just in time for class, and the campus was very quiet. They walked along the densely tree-lined school road and passed several small buildings with red walls and green tiles.

You Liangmu felt, ah, so high school is like this, if he was ten years younger... Eleven or twelve years...

Hey, forget it.

"Your alma mater looks quite big and beautiful." He said to Cheng Kai.

Cheng Kai had a sore nose, "This was supposed to be your alma mater."

"Hey, why are you still mentioning this..."

"If you don't forgive me for a day, I won't be able to live a day."

"I won't say anymore, this is fate," You Liangmu smiled at him, but he was not very happy, "Since it is fate, I will admit it. How I live now and how I will live in the future, I will I also recognized it."

The sky is blue, camphor trees are planted on both sides, and a little further ahead is a standard sports field, with a large green lawn on it, which is neatly manicured.

You Liangmu thought, the grass grows well, if all the chickens from his hometown are raised on it, and they rush to run every day, the babies will definitely become free-range chickens, and the price will quadruple.

He was so greedy that he knelt down and touched the lawn until Cheng Kai told him that it was an artificial plastic lawn.

This school is also really big, with twists and turns, and You Liangmu's natural sense of direction is not very good, and he can't tell whether he is lost or not. Fortunately, Cheng Kai has been taking him with him.

Cheng Kai seemed to be trying his best to make him happy, and told him a lot of interesting things about school, and he felt better after hearing that. Although he was not happy, it was still better than yesterday.

Yesterday, he was really sad.

Occasionally when he stopped, he would think of that man and all kinds of things related to that man, so his mood fell back a little.

Sometimes it is difficult for people to control their brains. If a person is told not to think about a pink elephant, a pink elephant will immediately appear in his brain.

This is the case with Yu Liangmu.

Tang Yunqian's sense of presence is too strong, even if he is not by You Liangmu's side, he can penetrate You Liangmu's weak mind everywhere.

You Liangmu had no choice, and at the same time felt that he was useless, so he could only let that man come and go in his mind freely.

"You Liangmu... You Liangmu?"

Cheng Kai called him several times, and You Liangmu came back to his senses and found that Cheng Kai had been talking to him just now.

"What's the matter with you? What are you thinking?"

"It's nothing..." You Liangmu scratched his head, "What did you say to me just now?"

"I said," Cheng Kai pointed to the blue and white brick modern buildings not far away, and told him, "This is a newly built teaching building, and it didn't exist when I was studying."

"Really impressive."

Afraid of disturbing the students in class, they did not go into the teaching building, but just watched from a distance for a while, and could vaguely see the scene in the classroom.

In the early morning, the vigorous sunshine shines into every classroom, and there are light green curtains around the windows, which are blown by the breeze that enters the classroom, as if the scenery outside the window is teasing the depressed students.

You Liangmu stretched his neck, raised and lowered his feet slightly, as if in this way, he could see more things in the teaching building.

He made no secret of his envy, "Those who can study here will definitely be like you in the future, and they will have a bright future."

Cheng Kai smiled, "Not necessarily, practice is up to the individual."

You Liangmu turned around, "Then your practice is very good."

"Because I have worked very hard." Cheng Kai thought of himself back then, and said meaningfully, "Only by becoming famous and having a good future can I make up for what I owe you."

At the age of 15, in order not to disappoint and not waste the position he stole from You Liangmu, he ignited a short-term ambition. .

Therefore, he was able to end the rebellious period in an instant, turn his prodigal son back, bravely fight the enemy in his studies, and force himself to study well.

At that time, there were inspirational post-it notes on the desks of the students in the class. Most of them wrote "rush to the top ten in the grade", "God rewards hard work", "study hard and make progress every day" and so on...

But the sentence on Cheng Kai's desk is quite unique——

"Good trees are always destroyed."

It means that because the tree grew so well and was so straight and towering, unfortunately, it was cut down by someone.

He remembers every day, always remembers that there was someone who was the target of a stolen life because he was too good.

And he was that despicable thief.
