Gu Pan

Chang Gu quickly learned from his aunt that his father had a business problem this year, and the company officially declared bankruptcy more than half a month ago.Even though he said so, his father wouldn't end up on the street, and the sum of money on hand was enough for him to start a small business, so that the whole family would have no worries about food and clothing.

Chang Gu just wanted to sneer when he heard this, no wonder this man suddenly thought of him, it turned out that his business failed, and now he wanted to turn around and run his own small family.

But anyway, it was no longer his home.The human heart is made of flesh, what has happened in the past is not a trace left on the sand, just a casual touch can make it seem that it never existed.

"I'm not going back." Chang Gu hung up the phone, and repeated what he said to his aunt just now, and he didn't know whether to say it to himself or to Shen Pan next to him.

Shen Pan nodded, "Yes", put his arms around Chang Gu, and comforted him softly: "It's okay baby, if you don't want to go back, then don't go back, if your father doesn't want to raise you, then let's raise you, you just come to us It's fine to live at home, my dad certainly doesn't mind having another smart and handsome son."

"I won't go back." Chang Gu repeated again in a dull voice. The calmness and calmness he had just faced with his aunt was gone, and his eyes were red. "That's not my home... There is no you there."

How can a place be called home without you?

Shen Pan understood this cryptic love words, his heart softened, and he coaxed Chang Gu gently and patiently for a long time.In fact, he wasn't too worried about it. If Chang Gu insisted on not leaving, would that bankrupt father of Chang Gu still be able to kidnap him?

Chang Gu is 17 years old this year, and his father can't force him to do anything.Shen Pan knew in his heart that at most his father would cut off his source of income, make his aunt no longer take him in, or forcefully go to Hetang Middle School to drop Chang Gu out of school—in any case, Shen Pan has a way to keep Chang Gu safe and sound.

But he could understand the grievance and anger in Chang Gu's heart, and when Chang Gu had vented enough, Shen Pan slowly reasoned with him.

Chang Gu didn't go back to his aunt's house that night. His father called him several times, but Chang Gu didn't answer any of them.The next day, Chang Gu confirmed that his emotions had completely stabilized, and then reluctantly called his father under the supervision of Shen Pan.

So it was also his father, if there is still room for change, then it is best not to tear yourself apart - Chang Gu thinks Shen Pan is right, so he reluctantly wants to have a "negotiation" with his father.

It was probably because of his hysterical attack yesterday that bluffed his dad. This time his dad didn't get angry at him on the phone, but patiently talked to him for more than half an hour - if it was in the past, his dad would be willing to talk to him. He is a ghost in negotiating, his father has always been the dictator of the family, and the words of women and children are basically ignored.

Maybe it was Chang Gu's resistance that finally made him realize that the child had grown up, or maybe it was the failure in his career that wiped out the domineering in this man's bones overnight, Chang Gu finished talking with him seriously, and finally the man reluctantly Agreed to let him stay in Hetang Town.

Of course, what really convinced the man was not Chang Gu’s stubbornness, but his report cards—one of the reasons Chang Gu told the man was that he was doing well in Hetang Middle School, and he was already a sophomore in high school. He is in an important stage of preparing for the college entrance examination. If he changes schools suddenly, the completely unfamiliar new environment is likely to affect his learning status.

He and Shen Pan had discussed these words for a long time, each sentence was carefully considered, and when they came out of Chang Gu's mouth smoothly, the man was stunned for a while, and his mood was extremely complicated.In his memory, Chang Gu was just a timid and shy little boy who couldn't even speak well. Who was that young man on the other end of the phone who spoke the truth?

So during the period of being ignored by him, did that unlovable boy grow up to be so outstanding?

The slightly hoarse voice unique to the juvenile voice-changing period came from the mobile phone, showing a little impatience: "Then you agree, right? I have nothing else to hang up."

"Wait." The man hurriedly said, "I haven't left at your aunt's house yet, Gu, you will come back later to see off me and your stepmother, and meet your little sister Changle by the way."

Chang Gu hated his commanding tone the most, so he said perfunctorily, "Isn't it necessary? I can leave without seeing you off. I still have a lot of homework to do..."

The man took a deep breath, knowing that Chang Gu was no longer the young boy who let him round and flatten him. He hadn't figured out how to deal with Chang Gu now, so he didn't dare to get angry at will, so he had to suppress the anger provoked , reluctantly softened his voice: "I'm leaving this time, and I don't know when I will come to see you next time. Why don't you come over and get to know your own sister?"

Chang Gu had no expectations of when this man would come to see him next time, and he had no interest in the so-called biological sister, so he blurted out: "It's okay, if it's inconvenient for you, then don't come, anyway, you didn't come to see me last year , I'm quite used to it..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Pan flicked Chang Gu's forehead lightly with his fingers.Chang Gu looked at him dissatisfied, and the latter looked at him disapprovingly, and mouthed at him: "How do you talk?"

Chang Gu had no choice but to put aside his cynicism towards his father, and under Shen Pan's gaze, reluctantly agreed to go back to his aunt's house to see them off.

"You are not afraid that I will be abducted by him." After hanging up the phone, Chang Gu complained to Shen Pan.

"Hey, baby, you are taller than a telephone pole, and you still think you are a child?" Shen Pan smiled. Chang Gu and his father had successfully negotiated, and he was obviously in a good mood. Abduct you with great ability? Don't think too much about it."

Chang Gu didn't like to hear his ridicule, so he rushed forward without any explanation, and bit Shen Pan's mouth.

Sure enough, as Shen Pan said, his father, Mr. Yu Xinqiang, was not capable of abducting him, it was just an ordinary farewell.After more than a year, Chang Gu saw his stepmother for the second time. The girl in her early twenties was as haggard as her father, with a bloated figure and a much rounder face than before. Her melon-shaped face was hardly recognizable. The original appearance, with the puffiness that has not been reduced after childbirth.

Chang Gu didn't feel much for his father, but he sympathized with this elder sister. After finally marrying a rich middle-aged uncle, the old man actually went bankrupt and became an ordinary middle-aged uncle.

From now on, she will count on this old man who can't be found in the crowd to live, and take care of a little girl who is less than one year old - such a boring life that can be seen at a glance, Chang Gu really thinks about it for her feel sad.

Out of pity for his little stepmother, Chang Gu took a serious look at the little baby in her arms. It is said that this girl is called Chang Le.Little Chang Le has a pair of dark eyes, big and shining brightly, which are exactly the same as the mother who is holding her.

"Our little Lele is cute, isn't it?" The stepmother talked to Chang Gu with a smile, her eyes fell on the boy's increasingly deep and handsome face, and she was in a daze for a moment.

Chang Gu let out a "hmm", feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, and walked away without saying anything.

After seeing off his father's family of three, the winter vacation is almost over.The second semester of high school is getting more and more heavy. Shen Pan is so busy every day that he doesn't even have enough time to complain. Although the singing band has disbanded, Shen Pan still has to practice music every day to keep his hand feeling and prepare for the future art test. Also dare not relax.

Chang Gu was still dissatisfied with his grades, he pushed himself very hard just like Shen Pan, and studying in competitions almost became a kind of fun between them--it is not easy to find some fun in the busy schoolwork, the two teenagers I had to make fun of it.

In a blink of an eye, it was the final exam again. Chang Gu took the No.1 position in the grade ranking without any suspense. Shen Pan followed him closely, ranking second. The total score was only five points lower than him, leaving No.3 behind. a lot.

On the day Shen Pan got the report card, he chatted to Chang Gu as usual, but after returning home, Chang Gu couldn't bear to strip off his clothes and touch his whole body. Tricks, the game tests who can perform well, and the loser has to strip off his clothes and let the other party mess around, and no resistance is allowed.

This is actually unfair to Shen Pan. In the past two years, his performance has not been better than that of Chang Gu, and the chance of losing is too high.But Shen Pan didn't mind at all. Although he said that he was not allowed to resist, he didn't say that he was not allowed to play tricks.

Both children are at an age prone to some kind of impulsiveness, and this quarrel almost went off the rails.In the end, Chang Gu ran into Shen Pan's own bathroom in his bedroom with a red face. Shen Pan hesitated for a moment, looked down at his own state, and followed in without saying a word.

After they finished solving the problem manually, they quarreled for a while, and the night was already quite deep.Although they knew that their grandparents would not come up when they had nothing to do, they still checked the door lock habitually, then hugged each other and fell asleep.

The next day Chang Gu got up early, lay down with Shen Pan in his arms for a while, seeing that he had no intention of waking up at all, so he simply got up to wash up first.

Grandparents went out for morning exercise and haven't come back yet. After Chang Gu cleaned himself up, he went downstairs to find the breakfast that grandparents left for him and Shen Pan.

He ate his share first, and then habitually took Shen Pan's share upstairs.Since the air conditioner was on in the room, Chang Gu would subconsciously close the door when he came in and out. He opened the door and just took two steps when he felt that something hard was stepped on under the sole of his shoe, making a slight crisp sound.

Chang Gu put the breakfast on the bedside table smoothly, and then went back to pick up the gadget that fell on the floor - the shape of this thing seemed to be a bluetooth headset, small and in-ear, and the whole body was black, so he stepped on it with one foot. A transparent stick that looks like an antenna.

Chang Gu frowned, feeling a little puzzled—he didn't seem to have seen Shen Pan wearing this style of earphones.
