The house of Shen Zhan's house is a bit scary. Entering from the first gate, you can see a wide field of vision and a large green lawn in front of you.
Go further and go up the stairs.
There are two huge pots of evergreen trees and green plants on both sides of the stairs. On the left is a pergola covered with green plants, and on the right is a pool with a mountain view, and there are a few small red carps swimming around in it.
It was Mama Zhang who came to open the door.
He was a little older, his hair was neatly pulled back, and he wore a white apron around his waist.
She smiled at herself first, and then shifted her gaze to Shen Zhan's face, "Xiao Zhan hasn't come back for a long time, your mother is so happy today."
"Is it Shen Zhan?" A voice came from the kitchen.
Zhang Ma turned her head and answered with a loud voice: "Yes—"
Lin Jiayin timidly followed Shen Zhan into the door, Zhang Ma took out a pair of brand new pink slippers from the shoe cabinet: "Your Aunt Tang bought them for you."
"Huh?" Lin Jiayin was a little startled.
At this time, there was a rush of slippers whispering from far to near.
"Sister is here!" Tang Ye came over and took her hand, and she was holding a pure white paper bag with a logo of a black swan.
Lin Jiayin handed it to her: "A little heart, I hope Auntie likes it."
"I like it! Of course I like it! But don't buy a gift next time, it looks unfamiliar!" Tang Ye pouted, but his heart was full of joy.
Tang Ye enthusiastically dragged Lin Jiayin to the living room, and Shen Zhan followed behind lazily.
Mama Zhang brought a plate of fruit. Tang Ye held her hand and talked to her while feeding her fruit with a silver fork. Lin Jiayin was so enthusiastic that she lost her mind.
Inexplicably, she had the feeling that her aunt was taking care of her daughter.
On the other side, Shen Zhan nestled on the sofa, looking down at his phone.
After a while, he raised his eyelids, "Mom, don't scare people, do you have a degree?"
Tang Ye squinted at him and continued to chat with Lin Jiayin. If Mama Zhang hadn't come to ask her if she still made pearl shrimp, the two of them would have chatted forever.
Lin Jiayin wanted to follow her to help, Tang Ye pushed her down on the sofa and sat down, "Don't worry, when you enter the house later, you don't have to go into the kitchen if you don't want to."
Lin Jiayin: "..."
Tang Ye saw her blushing suddenly, and thought it was very funny, "If you feel bored, let my brother take you to his bedroom for a while."
"Brother's bedroom." Tang Ye raised his eyebrows, as if hinting at something.
Shen Zhan put down his phone and glanced at Tang Ye.
Mom is boring enough.
"Let's go." Shen Zhan stood up.
Lin Jiayin bit her lip and nodded.
"I'll call you when dinner is ready," Tang Ye said.
Shen Zhan walked forward: "Understood."
Shen Zhan's bedroom is on the third floor. To be precise, the entire third floor belongs to Shen Zhan.
The display screen in the living room was as big as half a wall. Shen Zhan explained that it was for playing games. Lin Jiayin shook her head incomprehensibly.
Shen Zhan walked over and pressed the switch, but there was no response for a long time.
"It's broken," he said.
Lin Jiayin: "Broken?"
Shen Zhan walked back: "Well, it's been a long time, and the circuit board has accumulated dust."
"How long has it been since you played?" Lin Jiayin asked.
Shen Zhan thought for a while: "Four or five years."
"It's really long enough." Lin Jiayin said.
It's been a long time, and I haven't played it since I went abroad to study.
Shen Zhan took Lin Jiayin to visit the study and storage room.
The books on the walls of the study made Lin Jiayin's scalp tingle, and after reading for a few seconds, she couldn't help dragging Shen Zhan away.
The storage room is unique.
As soon as Shen Zhan turned on the light, there were only countless train tracks covering the entire room left in his sight.
Look carefully, in addition to the tracks, there are also trains, planes, cars, parking lots, gas stations, service areas...
She entered the world of Lego.
Lin Jiayin also played with building blocks when she was a child, and she was limited to building a car or a small villa. The most difficult thing she ever fought was a three-story villa with a garden. She fought for the whole summer vacation, and later with the help of her mother just finished.
With a click, the overhead light went out, and the room fell into the darkness before entering.
"Huh?" Lin Jiayin subconsciously turned to look at Shen Zhan.
Shen Zhan reached out to stop her: "Don't look at me, look ahead."
Lin Jiayin turned back again.
The originally dark room was lit up again. The light did not come from the overhead chandelier, but from the train station, transit station, gas station, airport, service area... and the three-dimensional winding tracks that spread throughout the room.
"drop-"
The train whistle sounded, and the green lights beside the track came on one after another.
After the red Thomas train departed, a green leather train on the opposite side also whistled and drove slowly forward from the platform.
Third column, fourth column, fifth column...
It's like an orbital city.
Numerous small neon lights flashed alternately, as if she had entered the fairy tale world she had imagined when she was a child.
Lin Jiayin was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.
When he came back to his senses, Shen Zhan had stopped all the trains, and the lights above his head were turned on again, and everything was calm.
Orbit City fell into a deep sleep.
"It's amazing." Lin Jiayin asked Shen Zhan, "How long have you been fighting?"
"A winter vacation." Shen Zhan mocked casually, "I was quite naive in junior high school."
"..."
a winter vacation? childish
Lin Jiayin thought a little depressingly, if I let the current self do the hard work, it probably won't work in ten years.
"Do you want to see the bedroom?" Shen Zhan asked.
"Look." Lin Jiayin looked up at him.
"Then let's go." Shen Zhan closed the door and led her forward: "Actually, there's nothing interesting in the bedroom."
Compared with the study room and Lego world, Shen Zhan's bedroom is extremely simple.
Just a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe integrated into the wall.
On the desk are various model ornaments belonging to boys, three-wheel drive racing cars, and four-wheel drive aircraft.
Lin Jiayin recalled her desk, which was filled with Barbie dolls, puppet figures, music boxes, crystal glass balls...
In comparison, Shen Zhan's toys are really high-end.
"Is this taken in your junior high school?" Lin Jiayin stepped on the bright yellow wooden floor and walked over, pointing to the photo frame standing on the bookshelf.
Although the person in the photo frame looks handsome, he is full of childishness.
He was holding a golden trophy, his long and narrow eye tails drooped downwards, and the corners of his mouth were flattened, with an extremely reluctant and forced smile
It was obvious at a glance that they were forced to take pictures.
Lin Jiayin can think of that scene, as long as the lights flicker, the person in the photo frame will hang down his hands sleepily, then turn around and leave.
"My mother took it." Shen Zhan followed her gaze.
This is the first grade of junior high school, the math competition trophy.
Shen Zhan walked over, opened the drawer, and put the photo frame in.
He remembered that there were no photo frames on the bookshelf, probably his mother took them out and put them on.
"Hey, wait." Lin Jiayin grabbed his wrist.
There are two photo frames in the drawer, one is a photo of Shen Zhan playing basketball, and
One is a family portrait.
Before Lin Jiayin could see enough, Shen Zhan reached out and took her away.
"Nothing to see," he said.
Lin Jiayin turned her head: "You and your father really look alike."
Shen Zhan didn't speak.
Lin Jiayin suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Shen Zhan's father there since entering the house.
"Where's your father?" she asked.
Shen Zhan closed the drawer, and said in a calm tone, "I don't know, I'm on a business trip."
"Oh." Lin Jiayin said.
"You can still play Rubik's Cube!" The Rubik's Cube was covered by the airplane model. If it weren't for the bright colors, Lin Jiayin would not have been able to spot it.
She took it in her hand and looked, "Hey, why is this different from the Rubik's Cube I played with?"
"SQ1." Shen Zhan said.
"SQ1?" Lin Jiayin had never heard of it.
"A kind of Rubik's Cube." Shen Zhan explained.
SQ1 is cubic in shape like the most common Rubik's Cube, and each side has a different color, but each layer is not made of small cubes. The top and bottom layers are kite blocks and triangular blocks, and the four sides are divided into different sizes. rectangle.
"Can I mess it up?" she asked.
Shen Zhan nodded.
The cubes on the upper and lower poles are cut into small pieces that can be rotated at 30 degrees, and the messed Rubik's Cube looks like a fan.
Lin Jiayin twisted it a few more times, but she couldn't make up for it at all.
She looked at Shen Zhan eagerly.
Shen Zhan took the Rubik's Cube in her hand and looked at it twice. His slender fingers turned quickly, and his movements were smooth and smooth. Lin Jiayin couldn't understand it and was dazzled.
In less than three minutes, the shape of the Rubik's Cube recovered and the color blocks recovered.
Lin Jiayin applauded: "Wow."
"..." Shen Zhan returned the Rubik's Cube to her.
Lin Jiayin was playing with the Rubik's Cube in her hand, and suddenly found that the corner of the blue surface was missing a small piece, revealing the white background.
"Did it fall?" Lin Jiayin asked, rubbing the edges and corners.
Shen Zhan raised his brows and eyes slightly, and said "um".
"How did you fall? It was such a big piece." Lin Jiayin was surprised.
The angular gap was like a gap in a broken memory, and unpleasant scenes suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. In fact, he didn't think of anything at first, as if he had forgotten it.
Forgot that his father, who always respected him, rushed into his bedroom without knocking the door for the first time.
He was crouching in the chair playing with the Rubik's Cube, killing time, his mind was empty, and he was twisting around without any rules.
Dad came running up to him and yelled at him, asking him why he did that, why he was sitting here having fun with Rubik's Cube when he was wrong.
He groaned, without raising his eyelids, and continued to spin the Rubik's Cube.
Dad asked him to apologize, to plead guilty, to kneel in front of Zhao Ye's parents and beg for their forgiveness.
He shook his head, so angry that his father snatched the Rubik's Cube from him and threw it on the ground.
Fortunately, the quality is good, only one edge was damaged.
He thought he was right, but everyone said he was wrong, classmates, teachers... everyone. Even his father, who knew right from wrong, became so angry, and his mother who loved him unconditionally didn't talk to him in the first few days.
He who had always been very rational became extremely chaotic, like a split personality. Immediately afterwards, he began to self-doubt, self-denial, and brainwash himself constantly.
I was wrong.
Just fucking wrong.
Then he came to apologize and begged Zhao Ye's parents for forgiveness, but he didn't kneel or kowtow.
"It fell off the table." Shen Zhan, who woke up from the memory, replied.
"Oh." Lin Jiayin put the Rubik's Cube back in its original position, "It's too careless."
"Play this." Shen Zhan called her.
"What?" Lin Jiayin looked at the white thing in the shape of a windmill in his hand, which was only the size of a palm.
"Four-wheel drive aircraft." Shen Zhan found the remote controller and installed the battery.
The aircraft flew up with a whoosh, flying very steadily, hovering above Lin Jiayin's head, and the wind blew up the bangs on her forehead.
Afraid that the flying machine would hit her head, Lin Jiayin sat on the edge of the bed, not daring to move, her eyes rolled up, trying to see where it was.
Shen Zhan deliberately lowered the aircraft again, and it passed over her head.
"Shen Zhan." Lin Jiayin shrank her neck and called his name aggrievedly.
Shen Zhan said lazily: "Don't move, I haven't played for a long time, and my skills are not very good."
"..."
Lin Jiayin was so angry that she wanted to cry.
Fortunately, Shen Zhan didn't tease her for long, and the aircraft landed steadily on the table.
Lin Jiayin finally dared to straighten her neck, and the first thing she did when she stood up was to rush to hit Shen Zhan.
Shen Zhan put his hand against her head.
Lin Jiayin's hands were not as long as his. After waving them a few times, she found that she couldn't even touch his clothes.
Shen Zhan let out a chuckle from his chest, a muffled, subwoofer-like laugh.
"Ah! Why are you so bad!" Lin Jiayin roared.
"What is this?" Shen Zhan moved away the big palm covering her head, raised the corners of his eyes, and said in that lazy and relaxed tone, "I can be even worse."
The author has something to say: This is an update, the angry author has already forced me to make up math for my younger brother.
