Flying Gulls Never Land

Chapter 12: Every cause must bear fruit

Views:

Mr. Liu was taken away for questioning, Sheng Minou followed as the person in charge of the law firm, and I was accompanied by Wu Yi to the hospital for stitches.

Fortunately, it was the arm that was injured, and it would be difficult for others to notice it under the sleeve of Tian Leng. Otherwise, my mother would not know what to think about the injury when she saw the injury.

"Thanks to Mr. Lu today, otherwise I don't know how it will end." Wu Yi sent me home and chatted with me on the way, "The teacher also came back in time, which is really a blessing in misfortune."

I sat in the backseat and turned my wrist, the straps were a bit tight but not impeding movement.

"You call him teacher, are you his student?"

"No, no, this 'teacher' is not the same as the 'teacher' who teaches and educates people. I used to be the teacher's assistant in Meiteng. He taught me a lot of things. As a senior, I call him out of respect." Teacher'. Two months ago, after I knew that the teacher had decided to leave Mei Teng, I offered to go with him. I was afraid that he would not agree, but he agreed immediately." He laughed, "I am really grateful to the teacher. trust."

The young man reflected through the rearview mirror has no haze in his eyebrows and eyes, and looks like he is full of enthusiasm and will not be easily defeated by anything. He has a completely different personality from Sheng Mingou.

I leaned back on the back of the chair, relaxed my muscles, and let out a long breath.

"Then he must... value you very much."

There was some traffic jam on the road, sleepiness hit me, I dozed off drowsily, and when I woke up again, I was already downstairs in the community.

Thank you Wu Yi, I got out of the car and went upstairs, even though I knew Sheng Minou would not call me back, I still sent him a text message that I had arrived home safely.

Since my mother's current physical condition is really not optimistic, I'm afraid she won't be able to last long. After Wei Shi knew about it, he directly let me take my annual leave in advance, so that I don't have to go to the pawn shop every day.

My mother wakes up early in the morning, at about six o'clock, and then gets sleepy again at ten o'clock, and these four hours are the only time she is awake during the day. Now she sleeps longer and longer, although she blames it on being sleepy in winter, but I know that one day she will just fall asleep like this and never wake up again.

I usually take the first bus to see her, talk to her, or talk to her, and then leave after she falls asleep.

"I passed by the garden today and saw two brats playing in the water. In such a cold day, do you think they have too little homework and have to get sick? There is no adult around to watch, no I know whose child it is."

Carefully peeling the tangerines I brought for my mother in my hand, and after picking off the white strands, I broke off a piece and handed it to her mouth. She shook her head, looked at me with a funny face, and said in a weak voice: "You child, you obviously ate everything when you were young, why do you become more and more particular about it as you get older."

I put the petals of oranges into my mouth, and said vaguely, "Why are you so particular about it? It's called exquisiteness."

She laughed out loud: "It's still delicate..."

In fact, I have always been a very rough person since I was a child, but Sheng Minou is more particular. In order to please him, I was forced to follow him and become more particular.

I remember that it was the New Year, and it was as cold as it is now. Our family went to my dad’s colleague’s house for New Year’s greetings. Sheng Mingou was about twelve years old, and I was only seven or eight years old.

The adults chatted and played cards, and I sat on the sofa with Sheng Minou and watched TV. The tin box is filled with all kinds of candies and chocolates, and the fruit plate is filled with winter dates and oranges.

The hostess was very enthusiastic, afraid that we would be cautious, so she just stuffed an orange into each of us, saying it was very sweet, and let us eat it quickly.

Regardless of how low-intelligence Sheng Minou regarded others in his heart at that time, at least from the outside, he was well-behaved and polite, smart and sensible, and even my mother couldn't find fault with him. After thanking the hostess, he kept the orange in his hand.

I have been greedy for those oranges for a long time since I entered the house, but I was too embarrassed to reach out, and it would be great if someone brought them to me.

As the hostess said, the oranges are quite delicious, and I quickly finished eating the whole one. Looking at Sheng Minou again, I found that he was still holding the oranges without moving.

"Brother, don't you want to eat it?" Recalling the sweet and sour pulp, a lot of saliva was secreted in my mouth, which made me swallow unconsciously.

He looked at me, then at the orange in his hand, and asked me calmly, "Do you want mine again?"

At that time, when I was young, I didn't think there was any problem with his words at all, and I didn't even think that his expressionless face was scary.

My mother finally got me, and she always doted on me, which made me somewhat arrogant when I was young. If my dad bought a double portion of toys or snacks for Sheng Minou and me, I would get tired of playing and finish eating my own, and would always cry and want the one that Sheng Minou hadn't had time to touch. And as long as I open my mouth, my mother will satisfy me unconditionally and take everything from Sheng Minou.

Sheng Minou will not be angry or sad, he will only take the initiative to send things to me, saying that he actually doesn't like it.

My dad had a lot of quarrels with my mom over this matter. My mom thought my dad was nosy and treated other people's sons better than my own. My dad thought she was unreasonable and unreasonable. As for me, I am immersed in the false illusion that I am the most beloved baby of the whole family, and I gain satisfaction by exploiting Sheng Minou, and I don't feel that I am a fool at all.

Every cause must bear fruit, Sheng Minou is so disgusted with me today, part of it was my own sin back then.

"That's not right, there are many more on the table, I don't want yours." Although I was stupid and didn't understand his expression at that time, I felt his displeasure to some extent, and subconsciously became courteous in my words and deeds, "Brother, this is very important." Sweet, don't you want to peel it yourself? Can I peel it for you?"

He looked at me for a while, then handed me the warm orange.

I took it happily, and quickly peeled off the outer skin and handed it back to him. He didn't pick it up, and looked at the orange wrapped in white silk critically.

"I don't eat the outside silk."

I was taken aback, "Oh", I lowered my head and carefully peeled off the white silk outside the pulp. After ten minutes of peeling, until there was no white left, I handed it to him again.

He pinched both ends of the flesh and looked it up and down like a handicraft.

Expecting his approval, I stared at him without blinking.

He raised his eyes and glanced at me, and suddenly loosened his fingers, and the orange orange that I peeled bare fell from his hand.

"Ah..." I watched the orange fall all the way to the ground, rolled twice on the concrete floor, and was covered in dust.

"Sorry, I didn't hold my hand firmly." Sheng Minou said "Sorry", but there was no embarrassment on his face.

He bent down to pick up the dirty and inedible oranges, and threw them into the trash can casually, without any nostalgia for them or for my feelings.

I pursed my lips, and picked up another orange from the fruit plate: "It's okay, I...can I peel another orange for my brother?"

He took out a tissue to wipe his hands, shifted his attention from me to the TV, and refused without paying much attention.

"No, I don't want to eat anymore."

At that time, I really felt that there was nothing more desperate than this, and tears rolled in my eyes. For a long time, I thought that the incomparably lost emotion was due to grievances. Looking back now, it may be because I have already felt his malice towards me.

"Huh? Brother Feng, are you here?" Shen Xiaoshi looked up from behind the counter when he heard the door open, and was a little surprised to find that it was me.

"I'm here when I have nothing to do." I have nowhere to go after leaving the nursing home. Instead of staying at home in a daze, I might as well come and have a look.

"Then you come in and sit, I'll let you." Shen Xiaoshi stood up and stretched his waist, revealing a small section of his thin waist and abdomen, and the words "all villains" were printed on the white T-shirt.

The heating in the store is fully turned on, and the young man is more afraid of the heat. Shen Xiaoshi often wears a down jacket outside and only a T-shirt inside.

"How's business these days?"

"I don't know if it's because everyone is going back to their hometown for the Chinese New Year, and the business is a bit deserted." Shen Xiaoshi opened the iron door and made an exchange with me. The biggest deal ever."

"Luo Zhengyun?"

Liu Yue returned to me from the Korean drama: "Brother Feng, you don't even know Luo Zhengyun? He is a very popular film and television star in the past two years. He has a good-looking face and even better acting skills. He has won two Best Actors since his debut five years ago." Yes. His set of photos only produced 10,000 sets, out of print, and with his signature, it was ordered as soon as it was posted on the Internet." She stretched out her two fingers and gestured, "20,000."

When he debuted, I was still making plastic tweeds inside, so it’s normal not to know.

I took off my coat and hung it on the back of the chair, and asked, "What does it look like? I will taste it."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yue quickly opened the search engine and entered the three words "Luo Zhengyun". Soon, the web page was full of photos of the same man.

He is pretty good-looking, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, very photogenic. Different from some of the little fresh meats who have a sweet smile nowadays, he doesn't smile very much, his temperament is a bit melancholy, and because he is too handsome, there is a bit of evil between his brows... It looks like that kind of idol drama except for the female The main villain who can be loved by all women.

"Oh." I looked away and commented, "Not as handsome as my brother."

Liu Yue gave me a distrustful look, and suggested: "Brother Feng, when will we meet that mysterious brother of yours? I just want you to show me the real handsome guy."

I waved my hand: "There is a chance, there is a chance."

While speaking, the door was pushed open, and a slender figure in a black wool coat came in.

I looked up and met the man's eyes.

He suddenly stopped at the door, the thick lenses on his face reflected light, making it difficult for people to distinguish the expression under his glasses for a while.

"Lu... Lu Feng?"

The other party has fair skin, with bangs covering his eyes, and a scarf around his neck. If I hadn't heard his voice belong to a man, I would have thought it was a girl's house.

I squinted my eyes, my memory was blank, and I didn't recognize him: "Who are you?"

The man took two steps forward, allowing me to see his facial features clearly.

Although the lenses of the glasses are thick, the eyes are exceptionally clear, the eyelashes are also very thick, and the appearance can be called delicate. Seeing such a face, I quickly matched him with a person in my memory.

The voice was stuck in his chest, and it took him a long time to spit out the name hoarsely: "... Mo Qiu?"

When I was in junior high school, although I was naughty and troublesome, but because of my good grades and good looks, everyone loved me from teachers to classmates. I was the king of the kids in my grade, and I could talk to a large group of people with a wave of my arms.

I will always shine, I will always have countless praises, and I will be friends with everyone. And there are popular people, there are unpopular people, this seems to be a law that can't find any reason at all.

If I'm the school's heartthrob, then Mo Qiu is the one that everyone avoids.
