Chapter 23 only.

The message that was sent was like a stone sinking into the ocean without any response.Jiang Lu stood at the school gate and waited for a while. When everyone was almost gone, he pulled the strap of his schoolbag and strode towards home.

I am used to sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, and when I walk home alone, I always feel a little uncomfortable, and a sense of familiarity emerges from the bottom of my heart. Jiang Lu took a step down the steps and happened to step on the catkins piled up beside the road. pile up.

There are so many catkins in April that it is a headache for sanitation workers.

Jiang Lu didn't receive a response from Xie Linjun on his phone until he walked home and put all his homework on the table.

Uneasy emotions slowly flowed in the air, and Jiang Lu didn't even know why he was uneasy.

He finished the questions he could write, stacked the ones he couldn't write, looked at the time, it was still early, so he took his phone and ordered a takeaway.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Jiang Lu went to the entrance to open the door. When he was walking back with the takeaway, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at the door.

In the morning, Xie Linjun stood here and called his mother.

Jiang Lu's hands holding the plastic bag trembled imperceptibly. He walked a few steps over to put the takeaway on the table, and untied the lid. The smell of the food didn't even whet his appetite.

He thought of Xie Linjun's tense expression and unnatural voice in the morning, as well as the two bottles of milk left in his schoolbag. The sound of something being pulled away bit by bit rang in his ears, and Jiang Lu closed it hard. Eyes, as if he could forget everything in this way, but the emotions rising from the bottom of his heart finally engulfed him.

Xie Linjun was probably taken away by his mother.

It was the winter solstice when Xie Linjun’s mother was 12 years old. Jiang Lu’s family cooked a pot of mutton hot pot and sent Jiang Lu to the next door to ask Xie Linjun and Ran Qiuyu to come over for dinner. Xie Linjun’s father, Xie Louan, who was always busy outside, was not at home. Jiang Lu didn't think much about it, and after running over in a small step, the phrase "Aunt Ran asked you to come over for dinner!" hadn't slipped out of his throat, and someone's whimper suddenly came from the unclosed door.

It was a woman's voice, speaking quickly and desperately. Jiang Lu looked in through the crack of the door and saw Ran Qiuyu holding Xie Linjun's shoulders tightly, talking with her head buried in her words. There was no brilliance in his pupils, he seemed to have noticed something suddenly, turned his head slightly, and met Jiang Lu's gaze.

"Why don't you understand!" Ran Qiuyu's voice suddenly became louder, followed by a loud slap in the face, Xie Linjun was slapped sideways, his ears were buzzing, and soon there was a mark on his face, " Your dad doesn't understand me! You don't understand me either! Why don't you understand!? I don't want to control you, I do it for your own good!"

"You have been in poor health since you were a child, what's wrong with me asking you to drink more medicine!" Ran Qiuyu roared, pointing with her right hand to the glasses on the table. There are five glasses on it, two of which are already empty, and there are three more Filled with steaming medicine, "You are 12 years old, why are you still ignorant?"

Xie Linjun pursed his lips, and he glanced outside the door again. Jiang Lu, who was stunned in shock, met his eyes again. He opened his mouth to say something, then sat up straight, and picked up a cup of medicine on the table. I closed my eyes and poured it down.

This was probably his third drink.

Jiang Lu took a step back.

I don't know whether it was because of the shock that Xie Linjun would be beaten or because of Ran Qiuyu's almost crazy way of speaking. In his eyes, Auntie Ran has always been a gentle and thoughtful person, like the rain at night after the autumn tiger, not enough to extinguish all Hot, but enough to bring the temperature down to a comfortable level, definitely not what it is.

"What are you doing standing at the door?" Mom didn't know when she walked behind Jiang Lu, smiled, gently pushed the door open, and said softly, "Go in."

After the door was pushed open, the light from outside also shone in.

Xie Linjun turned his face to the side to cover his swollen face, and Ran Qiuyu returned to his usual appearance at that moment, brushed his hair, looked sideways at Jiang Lu, and said with a smile, "Why is Lu Lu here?" ?”

The memory after that was too chaotic to sort out a clue. In short, from that day on, Jiang Lu discovered Ran Qiuyu's madness. With that heavy love in her heart, she interpreted Xie Linjun's inability to bear it as his rebellion. , and then "educate" Xie Linjun with any violence and multiplied "goodness" she can think of.

It was also from that day on that Jiang Lu stopped fighting with Xie Linjun.

Jiang Lu remembered that he asked Xie Linjun nonchalantly at that time, did it hurt?

Xie Linjun rubbed his stomach and didn't speak. He just stared at him so hard that cold sweat broke out on his back. When he thought this man was going to hit him again, Xie Linjun looked away.

He probably wanted to say something at that time.

Jiang Lu thought.

The vibration of the mobile phone interrupted his memory. Jiang Lu was stunned, glanced at the cold takeaway in front of him, pursed his lips, pushed the box aside, and picked up the mobile phone from the sofa.

-Go to school by yourself tomorrow.

-Okay, will we have dinner together tomorrow?

There was no reply.

Sitting in front of the table, Jiang Lu felt more and more uneasy as he watched the solidified oil droplets on the cold takeaway, almost jumping out from an unknown corner and screaming to swallow him up.

He shouldn't be treated badly, she is his mother after all, no matter how crazy she is... she won't treat Xie Linjun in any way?

When I was young, I was beaten because of my young age. Xie Linjun is sixteen this year, so he should only be able to reprimand him, or push him on the sofa like he has seen before, and say something quickly, sadly and desperately, "I am all for you good" or something like that.

After all, Jiang Lu himself didn't know what kind of mood he had in sending that message to Xie Linjun.

At that time, the surroundings were pitch black, only the screen of the mobile phone in his hand was still shining, and there was a frightening rhythmic knock on the door, and he could even hear the breathing of the person outside the door through the heavy door.

He was probably scared at that moment, at least not as calm as he thought.

Yan Chifei should have just arrived home, and he is not very clear-headed, so he may not be able to see the news. Besides, there is no one in Jiang Lu who can be contacted.

If it was Jiang Che who contacted that night, by the time he sent his assistant over, the body of the nurse should have been putrid.

Only Xie Linjun.

Xie Linjun was the only one who could get in touch with him, and who had a glimmer of hope that he would actually come.

Jiang Lu couldn't wait for a reply, so he took a deep breath, threw the phone on the table, got up, covered the takeaway, and threw it into the trash can.

It was getting late, the city lights illuminated the sky above, and the window panes of every household also lit up. Jiang Lu turned on the lights in every room, then drew the curtains, and when he returned to the living room, put them on the table. The screen of the mobile phone that should have been black turned on again.

Xie Linjun's reply came over, and there was only one word: good.

Jiang Lu heaved a sigh of relief.

He has never been so impatient to see Xie Linjun for a minute like this moment.
