Gu Pan

This year's winter vacation, Chang Gu spent almost all of his time at Shen Pan's house. During the Chinese New Year, he stayed at his aunt's house for a day or two, and spent the rest of the time at Shen Pan's house.

My aunt has long been used to it. After all, it is not her own child, so it is not easy to take care of Chang Gu, let alone blame Chang Gu for not caring about her family. In the end, this child is a poor little boy who lives in someone else's fence, and this is not his home. Auntie can understand Chang Gu Ai was in the mood to run outside.

Anyway, Chang Gu never caused any trouble for her, which was very reassuring, so my aunt simply let it go.

During the Spring Festival, Silent Mountain stayed home for three days. After Chang Gu and Father Shen got acquainted, he gradually felt less awkward. He dared to play with Shen Pan when Silent Mountain was at home.

Shen Pan already knew a lot about Chang Gu's family environment - his mother died of illness, and his father remarried with a young girl who was pregnant with his father's seed. she.Because of his business, it was common for his father to be away from home for ten or eight days, and he was probably worried about putting a half-grown boy and a young girl together, so he sent Chang Gu away.

When Shen Pan heard Chang Gu talking about this, he stared at Chang Gu without a serious face and smiled: "That's right, if I were your father, I wouldn't worry about letting you and your stepmother be alone. Hey, your stepmother is It's not that there's something wrong with the eyes, the youthful and tender handsome guy is an eyesore, but he likes to get along with a middle-aged man day and night—is there something wrong with her mind?"

Chang Gu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, he was very pleased with his inconspicuous compliment, and even his mood became better.Looking at Shen Pan's radiant look, Chang Gu's resentment towards his father suddenly faded, and instead he thanked the man for sending him to Hetang Town.

Otherwise, how could he meet Shen Pan?

Chang Gu played with Shen Pan's hand, smiled slightly, bent his eyebrows, and answered casually: "Who knows."

I don't know if his father found out in conscience this year that he suddenly brought his family and his mouth to visit Chang Gu on the third day of the Lunar New Year.Chang Gu was still at Shen Pan's house when he received his aunt's call, and Shen Pan had just peeled a New Year's orange and stuffed it into his mouth.

They usually don't do these little intimate gestures in front of their elders, so Shen Pan dared to do it in the living room when grandma turned to pour water.While watching TV, Shen Pan listened to Chang Gu talking on the phone, and when Chang Gu hung up, he asked, "Your father came to see you?"

"Well, and my... stepmother, and her child." No matter how reluctant, Chang Gu stood up, "I have to go back first."

Shen Pan grabbed him and stood up with his strength, eager to join in the fun: "I'll go too."

Chang Gu looked at him with a headache: "What are you going to do? Ask them if they want red envelopes for the New Year? Be good, don't make trouble."

Shen Pan didn't use this set of words to coax children, Chang Gu had always had nothing to do with him.Shen Pan said brazenly: "Yes, I'm going to ask for red envelopes. Why, are you reluctant to part with those red envelopes at your house? Classmate Yu Changgu, I found that you are really heartless. My dad gave it to you a few days ago Such a big red envelope, and our grandparents..."

"You know it's not the problem." Chang Gu said helplessly, "Panpan, even if you want to see your parents, you don't need to be in such a hurry, right? It's not that you really lack those few red envelopes."

Shen Pan was not happy: "I'm going to see what's going on with your father and your stepmother? Your aunt also asked me to go to your house to play more when I have time. You don't like me going to your house, do you?"

"That's not my home." Chang Gu sighed. Although he was one year older after the New Year and he was much taller than a year ago, he still didn't make much progress in some aspects—for example, he still couldn't do anything about Shen Pan. , "Okay, you can go if you like, but you are not allowed to talk nonsense in front of the elders, do you hear me?"

Shen Pan let out a dispensable "Hmm", and quickly ran upstairs to change clothes, thinking that Chang Gu was completely worrying too much - when did he talk nonsense?

Chang Gu's father looks to be in his early forties, less than 1.8 meters tall, an ordinary man, his figure is a bit bloated because of his fat, and he is wrapped in a lot of clothes in winter, he looks haggard and bulky.

Chang Gu was really taken aback when he saw his father's face. When this man came to visit him a year ago, although he didn't give him a good face, it is undeniable that this man looked very high-spirited at that time.A year later, Chang Gu saw his father's familiar yet unfamiliar face again, and felt that this man was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and was devastated to the point of disrespect.

Chang Gu hesitated for a moment, walked over and called "Dad".

The man raised his head, his usual indifferent expression cracked in an instant.Chang Gu looked at his father with an unnatural smile at him in horror, and thought in a daze, "What's going on? Is it the end of the world? Mars hit the earth?"

But the present world is safe, and all the imaginary disasters have not come, and there is only that old and bloated man in front of Chang Gu.His father patted the sofa beside him and said to him, "Why are you in a daze? Come and sit down."

Chang Gu didn't move, looked around the spacious living room, looking for something to say: "Why are you alone? So who... Where's my stepmother? Where are my aunts and uncles? Where's Qianqian?"

The man rubbed his face wearily: "They're not here, they took the kids out to play—Dad hasn't told you yet, right? Your stepmother gave birth to a younger sister for you, and I named her Changle."

Chang Gu said "oh" indifferently, not fully understanding what he was doing this trip, so he said perfunctorily: "The name sounds nice and has a good meaning."

The father and son were speechless for a while, the man raised his head to look at the boy in front of him, and suddenly realized that the boy seemed different from before.

Chang Gu's eyebrows and eyes are only three points like him. He looks much more eye-catching than he was when he was young. He has delicate features, tall legs and long legs. It is estimated that he will attract many young girls who are not experienced in the world at that stop.Thinking of this, the man naturally joked, "I haven't seen you in a year, and you've grown a lot taller, and you're even more handsome—Agu, have you ever been in a relationship while studying here? There must be quite a few girls in school who like you, right?" ?”

Chang Gu took a breath, feeling as if the softest part of his heart had been poked—not touched, but resisted, his heart had been opened to only one person since a long time ago.

Chang Gu didn't know why the man asked such a question, and he didn't know if he had discovered something. It was just that someone suddenly dug out the secrets hidden in his heart—especially the person he didn't like very much. Immediately frowned.He gave the man an unfriendly look, and said coldly, "What happens to me has nothing to do with you?"

His father was taken aback.

Shen Pan, who had been standing behind Chang Gu, hurriedly pulled him: "A Gu."

Only then did the man realize that there was someone standing behind Chang Gu, and he was taken aback for another moment - it can be seen how dazed he was just now.He forced a smile on his face, and didn't bother with Chang Gu about whether he was big or small just now: "Ah Gu, is this your classmate?"

"Yes, he came here to get some study materials." Chang Gu opened his eyes and babbled nonsense, "Dad, if you're okay, I'll go first. I still have a few exercises to discuss with my classmates..."

"Your aunt told me that your academic performance has always been good." The man interrupted him abruptly, regardless of the presence of outsiders, and said to himself, "Dad has thought about it seriously. Studying in high school in such a crappy place really wronged you, Dad came this time mainly to ask you..."

Chang Gu could roughly guess what he was going to say next, and there was a momentary "boom" in his head, and it went blank.Then he became angry, and for the first time in his life he yelled recklessly in front of his father.

"I won't go!" The boy was like an enraged beast, showing his immature minions at the person who raised him, "I won't go! Why do you want to do whatever you want? You don't like me, Send me to someone else's house, yes, I'll get out! Now that I've obediently got out of your world, why the hell...why..."

Chang Gu couldn't utter the words behind, because Shen Pan hugged him from behind, preventing him from approaching the man.

The man's face was livid, he didn't expect that this submissive son would dare to disobey him in front of outsiders.

Shen Pan hugged Chang Gu tightly, and kept saying to him: "Calm down, A Gu, you calm down first...Okay, don't be impulsive, but don't hit him, it's your father after all."

Chang Gu trembled all over, took a few breaths violently, and forced himself to calm down.Then he belatedly realized that his current posture seemed to rush up and beat his dad up.

Hearing Shen Pan's words, Chang Gu couldn't laugh or cry, he patted Shen Pan's arm, his breathing was still a little unsteady: "It's okay, I won't hit him, don't worry... let me go first."

Although a little worried, Shen Pan still let go, and stood aside to watch Chang Gu, in case he would violently beat someone at any time.

Chang Gu took a few deep breaths, and then said coldly to his father: "Let me tell you first, I am fine here, my aunt cares more about me than you do. I don't know if you are What a nerve, but I have my own studies and friends here, and I won’t leave. If you insist, you can try to break my legs, otherwise the traffic is so convenient now, I will walk back even if I go .”

The man's face was ugly: "Yu Changgu, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing else, it's all the truth." Chang Gu looked at him indifferently, "Dad, I'm serious."

The little boy who was submissive more than a year ago has grown up now, and the tenderness and softness between the boy's brows and eyes has gradually faded away, replaced by another kind of firmness and maturity that is deeper and restrained.

He learned to hide all the tenderness in his heart, and his heart is only open to those he loves deeply.

The man glared angrily, raised his finger and pointed at him, and seemed to want to say something several times, but in the end he was speechless.

The young man with slender eyebrows and sharp eyes looked away indifferently, turning a blind eye to the man's trembling hand.He pulled Shen Pan over, and only said a word to the man: "I have nothing to do, I'm leaving first, my classmates and I have other things to do."

From the beginning to the end, he only said that Shen Pan was a "classmate". Chang Gu thought to himself, this man is not worthy of knowing Shen Pan's name.
