It was close to ten o'clock in the evening, and in the small park behind Jian Jie's residential area, there were only a few scattered older people walking around, moths and insects swarmed under the lit street lights, and there was a large area of humming. .
The coolness coming from the back was piercing, accompanied by pain and soreness, Gu Yan exhaled the smoke that had been sucked into his lungs, his throat was dry and he felt like he was about to burn.
Jane Jie's sentence "My dad, he's not my dad." To Gu Yan, it sounded more like "I ate a cucumber tonight."
"Do you need to go to the hospital?" Jian Jie's facial expression was hidden in the dark night, and his tone was as steady as ever.
Gu Yan gritted his teeth and endured the pain, turned his upper body sideways and turned his head, staring straight at Jane Jie.
"My mother remarried." Jian Jie simply sat beside Gu Yan, looked away from Gu Yan, and looked into the distance: "I don't have any impression of my mother's first man, except for drinking and beating."
Gu Yan was stunned.
"It's quite a complicated relationship, and I can't explain it clearly." Jian Jie clasped his hands together and said slowly: "My mother doesn't love that man either, basically her family forced her to marry my current father immediately after the divorce. , The two of them have known each other since college, and after they got married, it was logical to hang me under my father's name... Sometimes I feel that my mother actually hates me."
"It's quite complicated." Gu Yan opened his mouth, but didn't continue to answer.
"Do you know that feeling?" Jane turned her head and looked at Gu Yan: "You are like a superfluous... superfluous object. She tried hard to change me when I was very young. Every aspect wants to control me, maybe it's because I have that man's blood in my body, maybe my mother is afraid that I will become like that man, and also afraid that I will become a son he can't control, the kind that even the air can't control. It's a tight suffocation, you can feel the ubiquitous depression when you sleep."
"Then have you ever thought about it..." Gu Yan licked his lower lip and swallowed the second half of the words.
Jane Jie smiled and relaxed all over.
"My father treats me just like his own." Jian Jie said, "I doubted it too, but I didn't verify it."
Gu Yan was speechless.
"It doesn't matter who is my father, whether it's biological or not, and the surname is just for show. My mother had me before she married that man or after she got married. At most, it's because I don't recognize my father. Everything else is the same. .”
For the first time, Gu Yan really felt that the person beside him was more stable and stubborn than his peers, the contours of his face hidden in the dimness were youthful, and the light in his eyes was calm.
"I'll go back by myself." Jian Jie stood up, straightened his clothes with his hands, put the remaining medicine in a bag and handed it to Gu Yan: "Take it back and apply it."
"It's too stinky, I can't wipe it off myself." Gu Yan said.
Jian Jie didn't insist, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped when she thought of something: "I have read the file form you filled out, and I have read all the columns you don't want to write, and in exchange for what I just said, to you Fair enough."
Gu Yan narrowed his eyes, pondering the truth of Jian Jie's words.
"Ask Lao Xie if you have anything." Jian Jie waved his hand.
"Why is he looking for you?" Gu Yan was a little annoyed.
"What can you do, do your best and be a teacher by example."
Watching Jian Jie leave, Gu Yan's pent-up anger gradually swelled up, and when he thought of what Jane Jie said just now, he deflated himself again.
After waiting for a long time, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called Lin Xiaotian.
Lin Xiaotian over the phone is smarter than a ghost, counting the time and sneaking back to the booth, the place where the stall is set up is in a mess, and the people who should have left have already left, no one knows anyone in this kind of mobile booth, Lin Xiaotian No one noticed when I came back to pick up things.
There were only two-thirds of the stalls missing, leaving behind a few dolls with holes, and a few deformed hairpins. The rest were probably taken away by those who came to the night market to fish in troubled waters. The schoolbags of the three were still the same. Lying there well, no trace of being turned over.
"Reconciled?" Lin Xiaotian held the phone between his shoulders and ears, and kept packing his things: "I'll put the things in the cabin, you can go home directly later."
Gu Yan took out a cigarette, wanted to smoke but held back: "Well, let's take a rest for a couple of days, and then switch to another position."
"Liang Qi and the others probably won't be able to finish it. When this matter gets to Lao Xie's ears, I don't know whether it's good or bad. I can't afford to offend him. Miao Zhengnan is also a real grandson. His hands are really black. I'm beating him right now." My stomach still hurts."
"Where's the schoolbag?" Gu Yan asked.
"It's all there. Jane's bag is full of books. I'll move it there tomorrow." Lin Xiaotian groaned and stuffed the things indiscriminately, yawning profusely: "I'm going back to sleep, what a fucking day It's nothing."
"I'll go find you." Gu Yan said suddenly.
"Why are you looking for me?" Lin Xiaotian was stunned.
"Take Jane's schoolbag."
"Sick, isn't it over if you give him tomorrow?" Lin Xiaotian rolled his eyes at the air.
"...I will do his homework for him." Gu Yan said.
Lin Xiaotian hung up the phone with a snap.
—
When Jian Jie woke up, the alarm clock hadn't rung yet, but she could vaguely hear a sound from the kitchen. It should be that Jane's mother got up and was making breakfast.
Glancing at the alarm clock, it was less than seven o'clock. The sunlight that would have slipped in through the gaps in the curtains at this time did not come today. The sound of crackling raindrops outside covered the silence. Jane did not have the habit of staying in bed. After getting up from the water cup on the bedside table and drinking, he slowly got dressed and got out of bed, out of the bedroom.
The curtains in the living room were drawn by Jane's mother, and Jane looked at the dense raindrops on the window, and even because of the heavy rain, white mist floated in the air outside.
"Are you awake?" Jian's mother busily put the fried eggs on the plate, and knocked another one into the pan with her hands nimbly: "Go and call your dad, he is still asleep because he has a meeting at the company today."
Jian Jie was wearing pajamas, leaning against the kitchen door, glanced at Jian's mother's profile, and suddenly asked: "Mom, if I beat someone up and the class teacher told you to go, would you go?"
Jian's mother turned her head to look suspiciously at Jian Jie: "No, I can't afford to lose that face."
Jian Jie hummed, turned around and prepared to wash up.
"Jane Jie, don't find me something to do. The most important thing for you right now is to study. Now that you are in the first year of high school, the college entrance examination is just a blink of an eye. You must set a goal in your heart. I thought about it last night. When you divide the arts and sciences, You have to choose science! Go to a good university, and then you will find a job and have a way out!"
Jian Jie paused and turned to look at Jane's mother.
"I'm talking to you, do you hear me?" Mother Jian stopped her hands.
"We will see the situation at that time."
"What do you want to see!" Jian's mother was a little anxious: "I don't want to do it now, and I won't have time for you to choose. Why are you so procrastinating and lazy? How can school matters depend on the situation!"
"I see." Jane said.
Hearing Jane Jie's answer, Jane's mother settled down with satisfaction: "Go and call your dad."
Jane Jie bypassed the dining table and went straight to the bathroom, leaving Jane's mother's ramblings behind.
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, bringing with it thousands of horses and horses transformed into rainwater, as if they wanted to swallow the city, Jane closed the door of the bathroom without being affected.
His life is no different from this rain, there will be no sunny days.
When Gu Yan arrived at the school gate, the trousers were already wet to his knees, and they jumped tightly on his lap, making him very uncomfortable.
"Gu Yan—" Lin Xiaotian had a ferocious expression on his face, and he ran in the pouring rain with a floral umbrella, like a drowned dog who just wanted to 'save the beauty': "Damn it's cold to death! What to eat ?I'll go and buy."
"Go in first." Gu Yan hugged the schoolbag into his arms and squeezed it under Lin Xiaotian's small floral umbrella, half of his shoulders were still exposed: "Are you late?"
"Ten minutes to go." Lin Xiaotian said, "It's time to ring the bell, hurry up."
The two rushed towards the stairs in three steps at a time. The umbrella swayed in the wind like a piece of plastic, basically useless.
Go upstairs at the corner, and meet Jian Jie face to face.
Jian Jie's school uniform was clean and tidy, except for some water and mud on the trousers of the school uniform and the pair of white sneakers, compared to the two distressed dogs, she looked like an 'angel' entering and leaving the world, spotless.
Angel Jane frowned: "Didn't take the car?"
"The traffic is stuck in Beijing." Lin Xiaotian put away the umbrella and frantically shook it a few times.
Jian Jie covered her face with her hand, expressing her disgust.
The three of them didn't talk about the fight last night, they all prepared to cover it up with soldiers. Lao Xie is a good talker, as long as Liang Qi and Miao Zhengnan don't provoke trouble in private, this matter can be avoided. Just hide.
After all, he is a student at school, so he still somewhat resists the disgusting teacher's style of being notified to parents.
"Here." Gu Yan tossed the clothes, and handed Jane Jie's schoolbag.
Jane was taken aback: "When did you get it?"
"Your mother didn't say anything about you?" Gu Yan answered irrelevantly.
"...I said at school." Jane said.
"That's just right, the schoolbag is at school." Gu Yan said, and took out a few sets of practice questions in the schoolbag: "I just roughly wrote it down, you can check it."
What the hell is this
Zhang Jie, who was sitting next to Jane Jie, looked over at the same time as Lin Xiaotian, who was next door with a sad face.
"Just take it as my apology." After Gu Yan finished speaking, he returned to his seat.
When the bell rang, Xie Jiang took big strides, his shoulders were still wet, his eyes glanced around under the podium, and he picked up the roster: "Those who are late, please come to my office after class. The weather is excusable, but There are not so many excuses and reasons for many things. If you live far away, go out early, if you are stuck in traffic, you will squeeze the subway, if you are late for school, you will live too fragile. I will let you practice being strong in the early self-study. Recite it, focus on it!"
With a lot of sighs, Gu Yan took out the book, yawned and rolled his eyes.
The boring high school life kept him uninterested as always.
"Gu Xing, Lin Xiaotian, Jian Jie, the three of you will also come to my office later." Xie Jiang shouted.
Lin Xiaotian, Jian Jie and Gu Yan felt their backs shudder at the same time, and the rain in their hearts was heavier than before.
