Chapter 22

When I was hurriedly knocking on the door, Sun Qian seemed to be rubbing in the room for a long time. I felt a little anxious when I waited.

As the moment she opened the door, I rushed in without any hesitation.

This action scared her, and Zhou Dong behind me looked at her with awkward face.

But I have long forgotten that there is still Zhou Dong behind me

Zhou Dong touched the forehead band on his forehead and said to her embarrassedly: Auntie, hello, I am Tian Liang's classmate

She invited Zhou Dong in directly

But I didn't say anything

When I came out of the room with my cell phone in my hand, I saw Zhou Dong sitting there alone with great restraint.

I suddenly realized that she didn't like Zhou Dong to play with me

I patted my forehead in annoyance and walked towards Zhoudong quickly

I saw that there was no water cup in front of him. When I was about to go to the kitchen to pour him water, I saw her walking out with two cups of warm water and milk.

He said with a gentle smile on his face: Come on, drink some water first, take a rest and drink the milk for a while. You are the time to grow up, and you must not lose nutrition!

Thank you aunt

Zhou Dong quickly got up and took it. Looking at her smile, I sighed silently.

When I sat down, she quickly put the water and milk in front of me.

But she hurriedly said that she had something to do and went back to the room.

When Zhou Dong and I were the only one left in the living room, Zhou Dong immediately spoke: Tian Liang, your mother is so gentle

I was chatting with Huang Yiyi very much and replied casually: It's okay

Then I focused on chatting with Huang Yiyi. Since she had just got off the plane, I still endured my thoughts and urged her to go to bed as soon as possible.

When I closed my phone and looked at Zhou Dong as he was concentrating on looking at several photos in the living room, I got up and walked towards him.

What are you looking at?

As if it was because of my interruption that Zhou Dong was scared, he quickly looked back at me and hesitated for a while before saying: You don’t look very happy in the photo?

Listening to his question, it's more like an exclamation

Looking at the photos, I still looked like when I was a child. I remember that I was still young and ignorant at that time. When the couple went back to see me, they asked to take a photo together.

Like strangers taking photos, so the photos at that time cannot reflect happiness at all

But I still lied for my inexplicable vanity: No, I just woke up and was confused, so I looked very cold when I took it.

Zhou Dong did not continue to talk to me, but turned around and looked at the photo, and smiled thoughtfully.

Just when Zhou Dong and I were in a deadlock, she slowly opened the door and walked out. When she saw us standing there, she said enthusiastically: Liangliang, mom will make delicious food for you later.

I nodded, but Zhou Dong, who was standing beside him, was hesitating to refuse, but the moment he spoke, she immediately responded: Zhou Dong must stay and try my aunt's skills! That's it, you guys study at home first, I'll go to the supermarket to take a look

As she said that, she left Zhou Dong with her wallet and whispered to me: Your mother is so nice

After I smiled, I nodded casually. In my heart, I thought that is not the right mother for such a thing?

Zhou Dong walked to the sofa and sat down. His face gradually showed a sad look of memories. I sat beside him and asked carefully: What's wrong with you?

Zhou Dong clenched his fists slightly, and the blue veins between his forehead burst out and finally forced two words:

I glanced at him helplessly, putting one hand on his shoulder to try to give him strength

However, Zhou Dong's self-repair function is very powerful. About a few minutes later, he looked at me happily and asked me when I would start tutoring classes.

In fact, seeing his appearance, I was shocked, but more so, I felt sad.

In order to help him get out of that sad mood faster, I immediately took him to the ocean of study

I couldn't help but think: There are many stories deep in his heart. Since he doesn't want to say it, why should I know it?

As noon approached, my stomach was already so hungry that I was screaming. Finally, I finished the last equation. I stood up with my hands on my waist, looked at Zhou Dong who was focusing on the topic, and said helplessly: Brother Dong! How did you make your studies so poorly?

Stop talking, I'll calculate it!

Zhou Dong's serious voice fell, and I immediately remained silent

Looking at Zhou Dong who was sincerely devoted to his studies, I gradually realized that he seemed to have something to support him, or to force him.

After he finished the work, he stretched and said to me directly: I'm about to starve, where are you?

I nodded quickly and said: It's almost twelve o'clock, the meal should be done, let's go out.

Zhou Dong nodded, got up and walked out side by side with me.

As expected, the dining table was full of dishes

I called Zhou Dong to sit down, but Zhou Dong turned around and went into the kitchen to help Sun Qian come out with the food

When the three of us sat down and prepared for dinner, Zhou Dong politely picked up the drink in front of us and said to her: Auntie, thank you very much for your hospitality, I will pay tribute to you first!

Looking at Zhou Dong who is so polite and kind, I feel a little strange.

But she smiled very satisfied, picked up the drink and met Zhou Dong for a while.

During the meal, Zhou Dong just buried his head in the meal. He never said a single word except asking him.

So after dinner, Zhou Dong was walking towards the kitchen with his bowls and chopsticks. She whispered in my ear: This Zhou Dong is so polite!

I looked at her proudly and thought to myself: Why is my friend bad? Then I walked towards the kitchen with my bowls and chopsticks.

After dinner, Zhou Dong had to go back first due to family reasons, and I could only put my afternoon exercises until tomorrow.

When I sent him out, Zhou Dong said to me: Liangzi, I really envy you for having such a good mother!

After hearing this, I was confused and thought to myself: Isn’t his mother like this?

After sending Zhou Dong away, I returned home and wanted to sit down quietly and have a talk with her for the first time.

Liangliang, you are back!

Listening to her cheerful voice, I know that because she treats my friends today, I have a better attitude towards her at the dinner table.

Um

I sat silently on the sofa, listening to her busy voice behind me

What do you think of my friend?

My sudden opening made her stop her hand, but the next second she spoke directly: It's pretty good

I took a deep breath with pride, but when I was about to speak, I heard her worried voice: But will your tutoring to him affect your own study?

I still thought about having a serious conversation with her about my friends and my school life, but now I have long lost my patience

I stood up and said angrily: I will pay attention to my own study

After saying that, I immediately walked towards the room

With a bang, I closed the door and lay in the bed panting. My mind was full of what she had said just now. As soon as I thought of her rejecting my only friend, I felt very uncomfortable.

The afternoon sun is extremely warm, and shining through the window gives people a lazy feeling. I fell asleep unknowingly, but the sunlight is really hot and uncomfortable.

After turning over, he closed his eyes tightly, raised his hand and wiped the fine sweat beads on his forehead angrily

Although the heat of the sun is angry, there is nothing to do, and I can only bear it silently

Actually, I wanted to get up and hold the curtains more than once, but after some struggle in my heart, I still endured silently.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a slight sound at the door of the room. When I opened my eyes slightly, I found that the door handle was gently moved down, and then her figure appeared in front of me.

She walked into my room quietly, then I heard a sigh, and then the sound of pulling the curtains came

I was as if I was crazy, and quickly stood up, sat on the bed and whispered: What are you doing in?

After she was startled by me, she saw her covering her chest and panting and looking at me and said: You didn't sleep, I just saw you feeling uncomfortable sleeping, so...

I looked up at her, and lay down immediately without any expression. Close my eyes and refused to pay attention to her. She seemed to stand stiffly in the room for a long time, and finally pulled the curtains open before slowly walking out.

When I woke up again, the bright sunshine had turned into a bright red sunset, and the clouds were very beautiful like burning.

I opened my eyes and looked quietly, thinking in my heart that Huang Yiyi was far away from a foreign country

And then the phone rang

Yiyi, why did you remember to call me?

I spoke to the phone happily, only hearing the cheerful voices on the other side, my mood improved

I'll go back after a while. Remember to give me some lessons!

I agreed repeatedly and hurriedly asked about her when she was back, but she stammered and said that she was inaccurate and wanted to give me a surprise!

After chatting happily with Huang Yiyi for more than half an hour, she told me all her experiences and hearings, and I just silently echoed a few times.

The evening breeze was very comfortable on my cheeks. I sat on the balcony and watched the pedestrians coming downstairs knock on the door. I couldn't help but frown.

What's wrong?

I said impatiently, but I heard her anxious voice outside the door: Liangliang, Liangliang!

I suddenly felt something was wrong and speeded up my pace. When I opened the door, I saw her leaning against the wall with sweat on her head. When I saw me, I forced a smile on my face and said tremblingly: Liangliang, I... I'm going to the hospital in a while. How many days are you going to stay at home?

Seeing her like a rose that was about to fade, I quickly supported her arm and asked: What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?

She smiled and closed her eyes, and said weakly: It's okay, it's an old problem, I'm just afraid that you don't know where I'm going, so I'm worried, so I told you this

I helped her to sit on the sofa and said anxiously: Have you called a taxi?

She nodded, and she seemed to have no strength to open her eyes, depending on the situation.

But still holding my hand tightly

The sweat on her palm wet my skin. I silently reached out and put it on her hand, and whispered: Then I'll take you downstairs later.

The car came quickly. The moment her cell phone rang, she hurriedly stood up, but her body weakness made her shake. I quickly stood up, hugged her shoulders and pressed all the weight of her body on me, and helped her walk downstairs.

When I saw an ambulance parked downstairs, my tears instantly flowed down: What's wrong with you? Why did you come to the ambulance?

I cried and questioned her, but she just smiled and explained: Ambulance is fast! Silly child, mom is fine, mom will come back in a few days and leave money for you on the table. You can hold on to it for yourself in the next few days!

As we approached, two people carrying stretchers quickly got off in the ambulance. As the ambulance door closed, her figure gradually disappeared from my sight. I suddenly felt lonely and lonely.

Seeing the ambulance gradually moving away, until there was no trace, I slowly turned around and walked towards home. I looked at the slippers on my feet, and tears fell down.

Although I don't like her very much, when something happens to her, my heart always feels empty and as if an inseparable part is missing.

I felt guilty for the first time when I opened the door but disappeared from her smiling voice and busy figure.

Sitting on the sofa lonely, looking at the money and a letter she left on the table

After I took a deep breath, I opened the letter first: Liangliang, there is the food you like in the refrigerator, just heat it up

The money on the table should be enough to last for a few days. You must take good care of yourself when your mom is not at home.

My eyes were quickly soaked in tears, and tears as big as beans fell one after another, splashing water on the piece of paper

At 8 o'clock in the evening, I received a call from Zhou Dong

Can I go to find you?

Listening to his lonely voice, I nodded, and then he hung up the phone for about 40 minutes, and knocked on the door. When I opened the door, I found a dirty Zhou Dong standing in front of me.

I looked at him in surprise and asked: What's wrong with you?

But he staggered directly at me, and then whispered: Go in and talk!

He threw Zhou Dong onto the bed in my room with help. When he saw his body dirty, it would be difficult to clean if it was stained on the sofa.

Pour the glass of water and hand it to him. He drank it all and I sat beside me and looked at him carefully and said: What's wrong with you?

He sighed and said: It's okay, family affairs, my family affairs

When I said oh, I was about to get up and go out to get him something to eat, he stopped me: Liangzi, do you want to drink?

I stopped and nodded silently

I rarely see nights in this city. I should say that I have basically never come out at a very late time since I came here.

There are dense crowds around, and there are crowds of children everywhere, and the vendors are waiting in line.

The lights and wine are green and the feeling of being indulgent and rich makes me feel a little unbelievable that this is the city during the day

We got off the bus from a bustling street intersection, followed Zhou Dong, and looked around to see that everything here was so novel.

Follow me closely, don't lose it

Zhou Dong stopped and said to me

I nodded, restrained my eyes, followed his figure tightly, and saw him walking along the way toward the depths of the road, but the further I walked, the more people there were inside

Seeing some people standing on the roadside, dressed in young and dandy, all of them were holding cigarettes in their mouths. The cheerful laughter and swearing words made me a little scared.

Suddenly Zhou Dong stopped, I didn't pay attention for a moment and ran into it.

Sorry, sorry!

Zhou Dong didn't say anything, but stood directly on my right hand, as if blocking me, a slutty voice came: Dongzi! What are you here to play today?

Brother Hao, I will take my brother over for a drink, why don’t we join us?

I watched Zhou Dong chat with the boy with red hair in front of him. But he kept blocking my figure intentionally or unintentionally. I silently lowered my head and didn't dare to look around.

Finally, after some chat, the group left Zhou Dong and pulled the corner of my clothes and walked forward quickly to sit in a barbecue restaurant.

Brother Dong, that group of people...

I stuttered and asked, but Zhou Dong stopped me and said: You don’t need to know, you just need to know that I am protecting you!

I nodded and drank the white water on the table

Boss, put some skewers! Let’s get ten bottles of beer first!

Zhou Dong shouted at the kitchen seat, and I looked at him in surprise because I had never seen him like this before.

After everything was served, Zhou Dong poured me a full glass of beer. After clinking the glasses, I drank it like him, but choked on the first sip of beer that hit my throat.

Cough cough cough!

The awkward feeling was really uncomfortable. I put the remaining half glass of beer on the table and my head hung on the edge of the table and coughed violently. Zhou Dong's smile came: First time drinking bar! Drink slowly

I took a deep breath and looked at him stubbornly. I picked up the wine glass and drank it all. I must have coughed. Although Zhou Dong laughed at me, he still handed me a tissue.

Rub

It was like it was cooked again and again. The first glass of wine was in my stomach. The hot feeling was really uncomfortable, but the wine afterwards seemed to have changed its taste, which was very sweet.

Zhou Dong and I laughed, cried and shouted unscrupulously at the dinner table.

The people around seemed to be used to it and didn't care at all
