As soon as he entered the house, Li Huaicheng felt that something was wrong at home. These days he went to the pet hospital after school to see the seventh day before returning home. Usually there was no one in the living room at this time, but today there were conversations and laughter.

"Chengcheng is back?"

Li Huaicheng paused, and saw a trace of surprise in the eyes of the visitor, but quickly put on a smile on his face: "Auntie."

"Have you had dinner yet? I'll go get you some hot food." Li's mother also came over, her expression was gentle when she spoke, but there was a trace of restraint hidden in the bottom of her eyes. Since Li Huaixin's birthday, she always met Li Huaicheng. Somewhat unnatural.

"No need, I've eaten." Li Huaicheng smiled and said to the two: "Mom, auntie, please continue watching TV. I'll go back to my room to do my homework first."

Hearing Li Huaicheng's refusal, Li's mother nodded with a smile even though she was disappointed: "Go, remember to go to bed early, don't study too late."

Li Huaicheng nodded, said goodbye to the two and went upstairs.

Seeing Li Huaicheng leave, Li's mother sighed softly, forcing Fang Rui to smile: "Let's continue."

Fang Rui looked away, pulled Li's mother to sit down on the sofa, and asked, "What's the matter with you and Chengcheng? Also, I wanted to ask during dinner, how did Huaikang come back?"

Li's mother lowered her eyes and told Fang Rui about Li Huaixin's birthday.

Fang Rui sighed after hearing this, and said: "You are so stupid, how can you keep Jiang Huaikang, brother Zhiming is right, Huaicheng is your own son, how much you hurt him by doing that Heart."

"I know all of this, but..." Mother Li's mouth twitched, and she said in a low voice: "Wang Guihua treated Huaikang like that, how could I bear to send him back? It's not good over there, even if there is no blood relationship, I have had a relationship with him for 14 years, I have long regarded him as my own son..."

Fang Rui also sighed, and said after a while: "No matter how much you treat him as your own son, he is not your own son. If it's just an ordinary hug, it's fine. The key is that their family treats Chengcheng like that..."

As she said that, Fang Rui's eyes turned red, and she said, "I read the news, how could someone treat a child so cruelly, and Chengcheng is so good-looking..."

Mother Li's eyes turned red when she heard the first half of Fang Rui's sentence, and she burst into tears when she heard the second half, and said with a smile: "Why are you so old and still so out of tune?"

Fang Rui also laughed, stopped halfway through the laugh, and said with a long sigh: "Have you ever thought about how you will treat Huaikang when you leave him at home, whether it is the same as before or different from other children?" If you choose to treat them differently, have you thought about Huaikang's situation? If you treat them equally, what will Chengcheng think of you?"

Li's mother was startled when she heard the words, the smile on her face faded, she shook her head and said, "I'm also thinking about this issue now, I have to be responsible for Huaikang if I let Huai Kang stay, but Chengcheng...I am now I really don't know how to get along with him."

"I always feel that I owe him a lot, and I try to make up for him, and I want to give him everything I can, but I feel that he doesn't want anything, and he doesn't even seem to have much memory of this family, getting along with us They all kept their distance, the more afraid I am, the more careful I am, the more careful I am, the more likely I will make mistakes. In fact, I also know that my approach is a bit biased in many things. Not only Zhiming, but even Huaijin have told me about this matter, He said what I did made him very disappointed..."

Li's mother pursed her lips, with a bitter smile on her face, "Both Zhiming and Huaijin are unwilling to say serious things to me because of my body. Ever since I was a child, I can feel the tension between me and Huaicheng. I am in a dilemma, but I am Huai Cheng's biological mother, how could I not love him, I wish I could give him the best in the world, even more than Huai Kang and Huai Xin, But……"

"Do you know? Whenever I want to stand by Huaicheng's side, he looks at me indifferently and refuses, like a reminder, telling me not to approach him or help him. Whenever I see his face With that kind of look, I unconsciously stood by Huai Kang's side, I thought I would see his disappointed expression, but what I saw instead was like he was relieved..."

"I also think my feeling is ridiculous and seems to be justifying myself, but because of these inexplicable feelings, I really don't know how to get along with him."

"Think about it carefully, and you will always find a way." Fang Rui was silent for a while, then hugged Mother Li, and said, "I'll go up and talk to Cheng Cheng and prepare to go back. Except for the egg roll birthday a few days ago, I Never spoke to him."

Li's mother nodded, let her get up, saw her standing up and suddenly thought of something, and stopped her: "Wait a while..."

Li's mother came out of the kitchen, holding a tray in her hand. There was a piece of chocolate cake and a small fruit platter in the tray, and a glass of milk beside it. She smiled and handed it to Fang Rui and said, "Bring it to Chengcheng." Go up, I'm a little worried that he didn't finish his dinner outside."

Fang Rui took the tray, nodded to her and went upstairs.

Li Huaicheng had just finished writing a paper when he heard a knock on the door.

Opening the door and seeing Fang Rui, Li Huaicheng was a little surprised, and stepped aside to let her in.

Fang Rui put the tray by the sofa, and said with a smile, "You are tired from homework, you can eat something before writing. You have a big appetite at this age, even if you ate outside at night, you should be hungry by now."

Li Huaicheng didn't feel hungry at first, but when he saw the very tempting cakes on the tray and the delicately arranged fruit platter, he also had an appetite. He smiled and thanked: "Thank you, auntie, I just happened to be a little hungry."

"Let me just say it." Fang Rui laughed when she heard the words, and sat on the sofa and said, "Come and eat, and write after eating."

Li Huaicheng walked to another single sofa and sat down, picked up the fruit fork next to him, ate a piece of fruit, swallowed it, and said, "Auntie, what can I do for you?"

"Because I haven't had much contact with you, I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you and see if our relationship can improve by leaps and bounds." Fang Rui blinked as she spoke. She looked playful and cute, and she didn't look like she was nearly forty years old at all. appearance.

Seeing her expression, Li Huaicheng couldn't help laughing, and asked, "How does my aunt want to talk to me?"

"Hmm..." Fang Rui thought for a while, and seeing the fruit plate in front of Li Huaicheng's eyes lit up, she smiled and said, "Well, let's guess what the other party is thinking. If we guess correctly, we can ask a question. Being asked a question by another person."

Li Huaicheng: "Okay."

Fang Rui: "Then I'll come first, I guess you like strawberries the most in this fruit plate."

Li Huaicheng was a little surprised and asked, "I didn't eat strawberries, how could you guess?"

Fang Rui shook her hands triumphantly, and said with a smile, "Because every time you poke other fruits, you always take a look at the strawberries."

Li Huaicheng laughed when he heard the words, and admitted: "You guessed it right, it's my guess next?"

Fang Rui: "I should have asked, but you can guess first."

Li Huaicheng raised his lips: "I guess you are looking for me because of Jiang Huaikang and his mother."

Fang Rui was taken aback for a moment, then nodded hesitantly: "That's true."

"Then you can ask the questions you want now." The smile on Li Huaicheng's face remained unchanged.

Fang Rui pursed her lips slightly, she found that Li Huaicheng was much smarter than she imagined, she had planned to let Li Huaicheng relax through the game and a few ordinary small questions before asking, but now she felt that it was unnecessary, and When smart people speak, sometimes it is better to go straight to the point.

"Are you unhappy with Jiang Huaikang's stay?"

Hearing Fang Rui's question, Li Huaicheng showed surprise in a timely manner. After being surprised, he smiled and said sincerely: "I can't say whether I'm happy or not. In fact, I don't think too much about his existence because it's unnecessary."

Li Huaicheng was telling the truth, but Fang Rui didn't believe it.

A 15-year-old child, who has lived in the environment of Jiang's family for 14 years, suddenly returned from Jiang's family to Li's family, is tantamount to going from hell to heaven. Li Huaicheng, who has been groping in the mud for more than ten years, may do it Don't you have any complaints about Jiang Huaikang who replaced him at the top of the pyramid?

Fang Rui thinks it is impossible, adults may not be able to face it normally, let alone a child with an immature mind and a distorted growth environment.

But Li Huaicheng's expression was too natural and sincere, as if he really didn't mind Jiang Huaikang's existence at all, as he said, there was no trace of falsehood and reluctance in his face or eyes.

Then there are only two possibilities. The first is that, as Li Huaicheng said, he really thinks it is unnecessary, and the second is that Li Huaicheng is extremely good at hiding.

No matter which one it is, it proves that he is an extremely intelligent child, even more far-sighted than many adults, he understands what he wants, and understands that Jiang Huaikang's existence does not pose a threat to him.

Li Huaicheng didn't know that in just a few seconds, Fang Rui's heart had turned a thousand times. He smiled and asked his own question: "Auntie, what I want to know is why you have settled abroad for a long time and have been unwilling to come back?"

Fang Rui came back to her senses, thought for a while and smiled: "Because of many reasons, it will be a very, very long story, but since I want to answer your question, I must be sincere, so I will tell you the two most important things. There are two reasons, one is because of the people I like, but because of the people I like and my career."

Li Huaicheng didn't expect this to be the case. He blinked and said, "Auntie, are you not getting married because you already have someone you like? You settled in Myanmar because of someone you like, and because he is also in Myanmar, so you go together gone?"

Fang Rui stretched out her index finger and shook it, "One question has been answered."

The corners of Li Huaicheng's mouth curled into a cute smile, and he said with a smile, "My first sentence is a guess. If you guessed right, you can ask a question, and the second sentence is my question for you."

Fang Rui was taken aback when she heard the words, and then she laughed and said: "You guessed half right, so I can only answer half of your question. It is true that I settled in Myanmar because of the person I like."

"Okay!" Fang Rui looked at the time, got up and said, "I won't delay you anymore. After eating, do your homework early and go to bed. Auntie is going home too."

Li Huaicheng nodded and sent Fang Rui to the door before closing the door.

When Li's mother saw Fang Rui going downstairs, she got up and said, "What are you and Chengcheng talking about? Why have you been talking for so long?"

Fang Rui blinked, "Are you jealous?"

Li's mother gave her a sharp look, "Why am I jealous with you?"

Fang Rui pursed her lips and smiled, walked to Li's mother and said, "I just asked Chengcheng what he thought of Huaikang."

"What did he say?" Li's mother asked quickly after a pause.

Fang Rui: "He said he didn't mind, but I think he might be a little sad. It's normal for a child to be a little awkward when something like this happens, and I think Huaicheng is quite stubborn. You have to think carefully about how to deal with him." got along."

"I know..." Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Li's mother Fang Rui smiled and said, "I'll take you out."

Fang Rui nodded, took her hand and went out together.

When Li's mother came back, she planned to go directly to the room, but just as she stepped up the steps, she caught a glimpse of a thin figure sitting outside from the corner of her eye.

The sound of the floor-to-ceiling windows being pushed open startled the people in the yard, Jiang Huaikang turned his head suddenly, the heating and light in the room rushed towards him, making him shiver, and also made the tears on his face very obvious.

Seeing his panicked expression and hastily wiping away his tears, Mother Li walked over and took his hand and said, "It's so cold, why are you sitting alone in the yard? Come in."

The tip of Jiang Huaikang's nose was sore, he turned his head away and wiped away his tears and said, "Mom...Auntie, I'm not cold, I just want to sit here for a while, there are grape vines that my father and uncle once specially set up for me, I want to come and see... ..."

Speaking of the latter, Jiang Huaikang was sobbing.

Li's mother also had red eyes, stepped forward and hugged Jiang Huaikang, opened her mouth to say something but found that she had nothing to say, whether it was her own son Li Huaicheng or Jiang Huaikang who grew up beside her, she owed a lot.

Jiang Huaikang also hugged Li's mother back, crying even more sadly, hiccupping while crying, just like he threw himself into her arms every time he was wronged when he was a child.

"I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry..." Jiang Huaikang buried his head in Li's mother's neck, sobbing, "It's all my fault... everything is my fault..."

Hearing Jiang Huaikang's words, Li's mother's eyes became more and more sore, and tears rolled down. Thinking of Jiang Huaikang's healthy and strong appearance before he left, but now he is only a handful of bones when he comes back, Li's mother feels even more distressed, saying: "No It's your fault, it's mom's fault."

Jiang Huaikang choked up and said, "Mom, shouldn't I have been born at all... Is it better for everyone if I don't appear?"

Li's mother hugged Jiang Huaikang tightly, patted him on the back as she did when she was a child, and comforted him: "Of course not, you are a gift from heaven to mother."

Jiang Huaikang sobbed when he heard the words, and cried even louder, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances of the past six months.

He cried as he said, "I really hate that I was born, that I am the child of Wang Guihua's Jiang Aiguo, that they have separated Huaicheng and me, and let him grow up in that environment... I have spent the past six months. Life is worse than death, Wang Guihua didn't regard me as her own son at all, not only beat and scolded me, but also didn't give me food...I really don't know how Huaicheng persisted, mother...I see now When I came to Huaicheng, I felt very guilty, but I didn't know how to apologize to him, because I, I thought it was useless to say anything, and I couldn't make up for him... Mom, I only have you... Please don't leave Me, I don't expect you to treat me like before, as long as you let me stay with you and Dad..."

Li's mother also choked up, she touched Jiang Huaikang's head, and said: "All this is not your fault, and mother will never leave you..."

"Really?" Jiang Huaikang raised his head and said cautiously, "Mom, will you really not abandon me?"

Li's mother touched his head, forced a smile and said, "Silly boy, where in the world would there be a mother who left her child behind?"

Only then did Jiang Huaikang smile through his tears, and hugged Li's mother again, completely relieved.

His eyes swept across the mother and son who were tightly hugging each other as if they could only depend on each other. Li Huaicheng looked away faintly, closed the window and returned to the desk, took out a paper, picked up a pen and prepared to do the questions.

As soon as the pen cover was opened, the phone rang.

Li Huaicheng frowned slightly, seeing the name on the caller ID, hesitating for a few seconds before answering the call.

"Hello, this is Li Huaicheng."

"Hi, Zheli is Jiang Siyuan."

Hearing Jiang Siyuan's strange accent, the corners of Li Huaicheng's mouth curled up slightly.

"What's up?"

"I want to ask you a question, is it convenient now?"

On the day Jiang Siyuan transferred, teacher Zhou, the class teacher, told Li Huaicheng that he hoped that he would take Jiang Siyuan to familiarize himself with the campus environment and help him adapt to the classroom, especially the Chinese class.

The head teacher did not hand over Jiang Siyuan to the class monitor but to Li Huaicheng, not because of how good Li Huaicheng's Chinese grades were, nor because of how helpful Li Huaicheng was usually, but because Li Huaicheng's English grades were really poor, so he hoped that he could learn bilingual education since he was a child. Jiang Siyuan, who grew up in the environment, can help Li Huaicheng improve his English performance.

However, it is said to help each other, but judging from the situation in the past few days, Jiang Siyuan may help Li Huaicheng more often.

So Jiang Siyuan specially called to ask for help, and Li Huaicheng naturally agreed.

Li Huaicheng put down his pen: "It's convenient, you can ask."

"Thank you, when it was like this, I was like asking, what is the difference between Xue's angry Youtian and Master Zirao today, and I didn't understand the suspension of class today."

Li Huaicheng turned around in his mind for a few times, but he couldn't translate the sentence in the middle of Jiang Siyuan, so he could only ask: "Say it again? What Youtian and Renzi?"

Jiang Siyuan repeated with an emphasis: "Annoyed people, Youtian and servants will go around on their own."

Li Huaicheng: ...

He could feel that Jiang Siyuan did try his best to straighten his tongue, but the tone was really touching, and Li Huaicheng really couldn't understand it.

"It's annoying..." Li Huaicheng had a flash of inspiration, "Are you saying that people are worrying about nothing?"

"Si!" Jiang Siyuan was very happy, "Yes, it's a mediocrity to have a style."

Li Huaicheng reacted quickly this time, "Mediocre?"

"Correct."

Li Huaicheng thought about it, and explained to Jiang Siyuan in as simple a language as possible: "Worry means not to worry about things that are unnecessary and not in line with the actual situation."

Jiang Siyuan was silent for a moment, hesitantly asked: "What's the situation in the history of the century?"

"We are classmates in the same school, and this is the actual situation. For example, Zhou Ziyou is often afraid that his school will be blown up by a plane flying over from nowhere, which means that he is worried about some impossible things. "

Jiang Siyuan was silent for a moment, and said: "Don't be afraid of freedom, he is not worrying, he is looking forward to it."

Hearing Jiang Siyuan's serious tone, Li Huaicheng couldn't help laughing.

"Did I say something wrong?" Jiang Siyuan asked in puzzlement when he heard Li Huaicheng's laughter.

"Hahahahahahaha..." Li Huaicheng waved his hand, realized that Jiang Siyuan couldn't see, coughed and said, "You're right, he's really not afraid but looking forward to it."

Jiang Siyuan couldn't help but also laughed, and asked after a while: "Then what about mediocrity?"

"Mediocrity..." Li Huaicheng thought for a moment, and said: "Mediocrity refers to a person who makes trouble for himself. There is nothing wrong with him, but he thinks about it and is anxious, and then makes things worse and worse."

Jiang Siyuan pondered for a moment, and said: "The Chinese are very intelligent, and those two idioms taught me a lot."

Li Huaicheng asked with interest: "Oh? What have you learned?"

"People shouldn't think wildly, don't worry about things that don't have Fashen at night, and don't bother with other things and embarrass others. As long as I do what I do, because you will find out later, When the things you do are the things you feel happy about, your breastfeeding will be brighter."

Jiang Siyuan's words made the smile on Li Huaicheng's face gradually fade away, but he felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart, the gloom that had just covered his heart seemed to dissipate suddenly, and his mood instantly relaxed.

"It's the future, not breastfeeding." Li Huaicheng said, "Read it with me, the future."

Jiang Siyuan repeated: "Nursing?"

"future."

"Hey, milk?"

Li Huaicheng: ...

Li Huaicheng gave up: "Well, breastfeeding, you go to bed early, I am going to bed too, good night."

Jiang Siyuan hung up the phone and looked away when he saw that the window that was still lit just now had gone dark. He smiled brightly, lowered his eyes and smiled and repeated the two words he said not long ago: "The future."

The words are correct and the accent is round, like a native of Huaguo, without the slightest accent.
