Feather to be a beauty

Chapter 5 The World Beyond

A month later, Lu Renzhou boarded the flight to England, and until the last day before he left, he and Cheng Jun still kept the habit of flying pigeons to send messages.Lu Renzhou began to write on the daily notes, telling her not to desert in class, to eat three meals on time, not to fight, and not to run around alone.

A few times, when Lu Renzhou let Xiao Hui out and watched it flap its wings and fly in the direction of Zhang Xiang, he would lower his head and laugh at himself.

Before going out for a long trip, for a while, I was worried that the child would play and not study, and for a while, I was afraid that she would cause trouble, and I was also worried that she would rebel and go astray without guidance.

Really heartbroken.

In fact, he knew very well that Cheng Jun had been in such a state of complete free-range since she was a child. Although she didn't do well by herself and sometimes made some small mistakes, she finally grew up physically and mentally.You could throw her anywhere and she would take it easy, he knew that the first time he met her at the police station.

Cheng Jun is really adaptable. At the age of four, he would get up to buy breakfast by himself, and walk 5 minutes to the kindergarten.After returning home, if Lin Aizhen cooked a meal, she would sit at the table with her legs dangling and wait;At night, if Lin Aizhen was at home, she would stay longer in the living room; if not, she would leave the door for Lin Aizhen and lock herself in the room.

She is a little clever, never willing to suffer a loss, even if she suffers a loss, she will seek "fairness" depending on the situation, and then hide at home alone.

Lu Renzhou knew that she could do well, but she was worried.This may be the psychology of being a parent, but since when did he have this feeling of being a parent, and Cheng Jun is obviously very adaptable to this situation?

The 23-year-old man was sitting in the cabin, holding in his hand the last note that Xiao Hui delivered this morning: Brother Lu, remember to come and play with me when you come back, and eat and drink well in the British Empire!Before ten o'clock, I have to go to the new school to sign up.Goodbye, Brother Lu!
The inscription was at that time, three concatenated words that were especially popular: forget-me-not.

The last few words were a bit scribbled, presumably in a hurry to get out.Lu Renzhou could imagine that when she was in a hurry, cute little beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose.He stroked the pattern of sky blue paper, folded the note, and put it in the book he carried with him.

There is a young girl next to her, paying attention to a series of movements of this handsome man from the corner of her eye.

Lu Renzhou looked sideways slightly and met a gaze. The young woman smiled politely, "I also like to use sticky notes. When I go out without a sticky note, I feel like I left something behind."

Lu Renzhou pursed his lips and smiled, the young woman stretched out her hand, "Hello, my name is Wu Ruoshui. Are you studying abroad too?"

Lu Renzhou shook the woman's hand politely, nodded and said simply: "Lu Renzhou."

"Really? Can I leave your contact information? I have no other intentions, but I feel that it is not easy to go out. I know more compatriots and take care of each other." The woman smiled, "My mother just held my hand Don't let it go, I'm worried that I will suffer when I go abroad alone."

Here, on the way back after registering, Cheng Jun met Lin Xiaoguang and his mother who were also waiting for the bus at the bus station. After asking, they found out that they were assigned to the same class.

When Lin Xiaoguang's mother heard it, she said seriously, "One class is fine, but junior high school is different. Little Devil King, don't lead us Lin Xiaoguang down."

"Then you have to tell Lin Xiaoguang, don't be my follower!" Cheng Jun said disdainfully.

"Got it?" Lin Xiaoguang's mother tapped her disappointing son's forehead.After getting in the car, he dragged Lin Xiaoguang to sit in the back row far away from Cheng Jun, Cheng Jun let out a "tow".

Cheng Jun sat alone in the single row, staring at the back of the head of the person in front of him in a daze, silently calculating where Lu Renzhou was flying and how far it was from here.It is said that it takes more than thirteen hours to fly including connecting flights, how many kilometers per hour?She shook her head, unable to figure it out.

Giving up calculating the distance, she began to calculate the time again. Today is August NO.30 in [-], and three years later, it will be [-].

It's so far away, I still don't want to.

The car swayed slowly, and it took eight stops, about 10 minutes, to get from her home to school, and about [-] minutes by bike.It was still hot and dry in September, and the air conditioner in the bus was very comfortable, making her drowsy. She suddenly remembered the morning when she woke up at Lu's house a month ago.

It was also a comfortable temperature. It was clearly midsummer, but the room was as cool as water. When she opened her eyes, she saw unfamiliar furnishings, black and white and clean tones, similar to the room in the dovecote in her memory, but the decoration was obviously more elegant and the room was more spacious.There was a strangely shaped architectural model by the bed. After studying it for a while, she jumped out of bed, opened the curtains, and the sun shone in all at once, covering her whole body.

Cheng Jun pushed open the glass door and immediately felt the warmth of the sun.Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is a beautiful large balcony, with a set of sofas of the same series as the wooden floor.The sun was so bright that she couldn't keep her eyes open, she raised her hand to cover her forehead, and a woman's figure appeared in her eyes as she looked around.

The woman is trimming the leaves of a pot of flowers with her head down, her silhouette is very elegant.

Cheng Jun put down his hands and stood there blankly, and soon the tip of his nose was sweating—until the woman looked up, found the little girl on the balcony, and waved to her gently.

It was another unforgettable morning after the winter morning when she was nine years old.The sun is shining, and a woman is as gentle as a mother on TV.

In fact, Cheng Jun knew very little about Lu Renzhou, the only thing he knew was that the pigeons were well raised and were as big as his brother.Mother Lu told her funny that day that brother Lu majored in architecture.Because he wants to take over Lu's father's company, pigeon training is only his hobby but not his main business. His main business is designing beautiful big houses.

For every professional trophy and certificate in Lu Renzhou's room, Lu's mother can tell the time, ranking and the name of the trophy.It's a pity that the names of those majors were too long and difficult for her to remember, but she still tilted her head and listened to Lu's mother with eyes wide open curiously.

It turned out that he had another world that she didn't understand at all, and he had a mother who was so gentle and enviable.

The car braked with a "ding", and when Cheng Jun got out of the car, Lin Xiaoguang and his mother had already gone far away.His mother carried him in one hand and his schoolbag in the other, and they walked side by side.

The gentle and violent ones are all other people's mothers...

Cheng Jun got off the bus stop and looked up at the sky, it was too dazzling.Her eyes narrowed in discomfort, and the eye sockets suddenly became moist.

She wiped her eyes and ran quickly on the bluestone road. The hot air on her body evaporated her rare melancholy. When she got home, she was out of breath.

Junior high school textbooks are really heavy.

Three years, whether it is short or not, long or not, it is a blink of an eye.

The traces of time on children are the most obvious.Maybe you don't accept the old age, but when you see the once little guy suddenly standing in front of you like a little adult, you suddenly realize that time has really passed.

In the past three years, the little Chengjun seemed to have grown taller overnight, and he looked thinner and thinner. His face, which was often peeled from the sun when he was a child, gradually became fair and clear.The little girl becomes a little girl, the only thing that remains the same is those big light brown eyes, and the fearlessness and stubbornness that cannot be hidden.

At two o'clock in the morning, Cheng Jun sat in the Internet cafe and yawned. She typed in AA School of Architecture. Her English was not good, but she could type out these words in English with her eyes closed: Architectural Association School of Architecture.

Cheng Jun slowly browsed the above official website. This school, which is independent from the British National University system, is unique from its inception to the entire education system, and has cultivated many top international architects.

Based on her ability to understand hello and goodbye, she can only browse the pictures one by one, guess which ones may be from that person's handwriting, what was he thinking when he walked through these strange and atmospheric buildings, did he think of her and Pigeon.

After a while, Cheng Jun closed the page and said to the person next to him, "I'll take a nap and call me at 06:30."

The boy next to him immediately leaned over, "Junjun, are you sleepy? How about I take you to open a room?"

"Who are you calling, is it disgusting or not!" Cheng Jun didn't even lift his head, and kicked him directly, "I'm not happy, I will open your head?"

"You don't want me to call you baby, but Junjun so we can communicate." The boy put his hand on her shoulder as he said.

Cheng Jun took a deep breath, glanced at his hand coldly, "Take it away."

The boy put down his hand embarrassingly, and seeing her push away the chair and stand up, he asked again, "Where are you going?"

"Stay away from you." Cheng Jun said, "Also, if you continue to spread rumors that I have a certain relationship with you, I will find someone to beat you up as someone your mother doesn't even know."

After Cheng Jun finished speaking, he put on the sports coat that he brought with him, pulled on the hood, and lay down on the table with his head resting on his arms.The air conditioner in the Internet cafe was turned on very low, and the air was filled with a strong smell of smoke. She shrank her feet into the chair, and from time to time there were boys around who swear when they were playing games.

She thumped the table violently, "Who is it!"

"Go back, it's almost three o'clock." Lin Xiaoguang stood behind her back, blocking the overhead light.He paused and muttered, "You haven't been back for a few days."

"Where am I going?" Cheng Jun leaned on the chair and glanced at him lazily.

"You just let people ride on your head like this?!" Lin Xiaoguang was indignant, "That's your home, why should she live comfortably and you stay outside all night!"

Cheng Jun was so sleepy that his eyelids almost collapsed, and he became even more impatient when he heard this, he pulled his hat and lay down again, nonchalantly said: "I want to return it myself."

Lin Xiaoguang was trying his best to fight for her injustice, but she ignored her indifferently like this, which made his round face even rounder in anger.He stood behind her for a while, and finally gave up and returned to his original position, and started the game to fight again.

Before Cheng Jun fell asleep again, a vague figure flashed in his mind, and there was only one thought in his mind: it seemed that he was getting farther and farther away from him.

That night, Cheng Jun was woken up again and lost his temper.Her eyes were sleepy, and when she saw the shining knives in front of her, her whole body shivered and she woke up instantly.

In those few years, black Internet cafes were a new high-tech industry, and their vitality was strong and tenacious. Almost overnight, they sprung up in every corner of the city, and they regenerated like weeds.

And how many damp and shady breeds of prey are hidden in these places overgrown with weeds, even if you are in it, you may not know it, and how much can people outside see?But even so, there are still people who are willing to hide in this backlit darkness, just because everything can be hidden here, everything that must dare to see the light and the sharp edge of the eye.

There are people who are in these shadows, understand them and take advantage of them.

In those few years, the violent incidents in black Internet cafes were the most direct breeding of them. They were hidden and buried.

Cheng Jun has stayed in this kind of place a lot - there is a saying that is absolutely true, if you walk too much at night, you will meet ghosts sooner or later.

Cheng Jun was woken up by a few yells. She squinted her eyes and vaguely saw a few people flashing into the door, and they moved very quickly.One of them rushed in front of the network administrator, picked up the galvanized pipe three or two times, and the monitor was broken. The remaining four went deep into the Internet cafe, forced everyone to the last row, and ordered everyone to hand over the money.

It was originally a small Internet cafe, and there were no more than 20 people in total. The network administrator was pressed on the table and could not move, and the others were not stupid. Naturally, they dare not act rashly in this situation.Lin Xiaoguang squeezed to Chengjun's side in the chaos and pulled her up from the chair.At this time, a boy near the aisle suddenly yelled and fell to the ground. Cheng Jun quickly saw the blood on his clothes getting bigger and bigger in the crowd.

"Let your mother hand over all the money, understand?"

"..." The boy curled up and kept nodding, and the expressions of the others changed.

A few people with knives walked back and forth in front of them, their eyes fixed on them all the time.Cheng Jun leaned his back against the table, turned his hands away calmly, reached into the back pocket of his shorts, touched the back of the pocket knife, and held it in his hand expressionlessly.It was only the beginning of the month, and she carried a whole month's living expenses with her.

There was still the sound of the injured boy begging for mercy, Lin Xiaoguang noticed her small movements at a glance, his eyelids trembled in fright, and he ruthlessly pulled her clothes.The two chatted behind their backs for a while, Chengjun was a girl after all, and he couldn't match him in strength, so they had to roll their eyes and recognize it.

Later, someone secretly called the police, but the police arrived very quickly.Those people fled through the window carrying the stolen items, but Cheng Jun and the others were taken back to the police station.

In the police station, Cheng Jun's face was particularly ugly, "Why did you drag me just now?"

"I still want to ask you what you want to do." Lin Xiaoguang cursed in a low voice, "You didn't see that they were ruthless, you just want to fight with a knife with a small arm."

Cheng Jun gave him a gouged look, "You think I'm stupid, I want to cut my pockets, if you don't mess with my 300 yuan, I won't be in vain!" Thanks to her smart and cautious, the sweater with the money in it Pockets, not jackets.

People can't count as pig teammates!
"...You, you should have said it earlier." Lin Xiaoguang touched his head.

"What should I say, I winked at you so much that my eyes almost cramp!" Cheng Jun was annoyed.

The boy next to him burst out laughing when he heard their conversation.

The policeman patted the table to signal them to be quiet. Cheng Jun was already familiar with the way at the police station, "Uncle policeman, when will you let us go home?" She asked with wide eyes, "We are victims, uncle, you grabbed us What are you doing?"

The policeman who registered them looked up at her, ignored her, and after a while sorted out the materials in their hands, he said: "If a minor enters an Internet cafe, all parents should be notified."

"!!!"

Not long after dawn, when Lin Xiaoguang was scolded and taken away by his mother for the last time, Cheng Jun was the only one left sitting opposite the policeman, watching his eyes carefully.

Lin Xiaoguang's mother always thought that her children were well-behaved, sensible, diligent and eager to learn, and Cheng Jun took care of them if they didn't learn well. They were robbed today, and she almost didn't recite it when she received the phone call.So when Lin Xiaoguang asked her to bring Cheng Jun out together, she refused without saying a word.

"Uncle policeman, look, I really didn't lie to you. Lin Xiaoguang's mother just proved it with words. I don't have a father, and my mother... is not here. No one in our family cares about me. Even if you detain me until next year Someone will come to get it." Cheng Jun glanced at the sky, shrugged and said.

At eight o'clock, the policeman on duty was annoyed by Cheng Jun and had a headache. There was nothing he could do. He couldn't detain the minor all the time, so he had to wave his hand to let her go home.

Cheng Jun got off the bus and ran home, seeing Xiao Hui parked on the roof of her house from a distance, she breathed a long sigh of relief.After Lu Renzhou went abroad, the pigeons in the loft were handed over to Uncle Zhong, and Xiaohui still went back and forth between Jianglin and Zhangxiang every day.For three years, unless the weather was extremely bad, Xiao Hui reported on time at 06:30 every day. Sometimes she went to bed late, and it would flap its wings and "cuckoo" on the roof until she appeared.

But now she was late for more than two hours, and she didn't expect it to be at the door.

Xiao Hui also saw her, spread its wings across a row of roofs, and lightly landed on her shoulder.Cheng Jun wiped the sweat from his nose, brushed his feathers with a smile, and said apologetically, "I'm hungry, I'm sorry."

Xiaohui's eyes are the typical "peach blossom eyes" of pigeons, with red eyes on a white background, very clear, and she is staring at her brightly at the moment, cooing and screaming.

"I see, it was my fault, I promise there will be no second time! You are waiting for me here." Cheng Jun said.

She strode into the house, and when she saw a table of people in the hall, her face turned a little cold.Lin Aizhen leaned on the chair and touched a card, raised her eyes and asked Cheng Jun, "Where have you been fooling around again? The pigeons have been arguing outside all morning."

"Too much." Cheng Jun went straight into the room.

"Your mother cares about you, why do you have such an attitude." Someone behind said, "Okay, Aizhen, don't upset the child in your stomach."

Cheng Jun slammed the door with a "bang", glanced around quietly, and found that the small wardrobe that belonged to her had been replaced with old woman's clothes, and there were two inferior snakeskin bags on the ground, filled with bulging bags. drum.

Cheng Jun walked over the two snakeskin bags expressionlessly, and after rustling the bedside table for a while, opened the door, stood angrily at the card table, and shouted at the person who had just spoken: "You put the bag in my room." Where did the pigeon food go?"

"What kind of pigeon food, I didn't see it." Wang Xuelian looked puzzled, she threw a card, and said earnestly, "I'm not talking about you, why is the room where a girl lives in such a mess? It took me several days to clean it up. Dare to live in."

Cheng Jun gritted her teeth and said nothing, Lin Aizhen glanced at Cheng Jun, "It's not a precious thing, I'll buy it when it's gone."

Hearing this, Wang Xuelian laughed even more, "She won't let the pigeon be slaughtered to make up for Aizhen. What's the use of raising a beast that only eats?" The others also laughed.

"Yeah, don't all animals like to eat soft food and not work." Cheng Jun sneered.

Everyone at the card table was silent, Cheng Jun smiled and was satisfied to see Wang Xuelian's old face changed a few times.It's not that she bullies the old man, this person is Wang Zhiqiang's mother who specializes in soft food.

As soon as the old woman heard that Lin Aizhen was pregnant, she lived in their house grandly, under the pretense of taking care of her grandson.Since she moved in, Cheng Jun hasn't stayed at home overnight.Wang Xuelian slept in her bed, occupied her room, and greeted her poker players to start the game directly at her house, day and night.This is what Lin Aizhen likes, she can play cards without going out after waking up, how nice it is!
"Why should I go? Don't be annoying here." Lin Aizhen said.

Cheng Jun pursed his lips and moved his feet. The four people on the card table quickly pressed down on the table.For more than ten years, these people already knew what Cheng Jun wanted to do.Cheng Jun smiled, "Scratch your foot, why are you nervous?"

She glanced at the table, shrugged her shoulders and made a gesture to leave, then she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to play cards.The corner of her mouth curled up, she turned around suddenly with lowered eyes, poked her claws, and threw all of Wang Xuelian's cards onto the surface.

Wang Xuelian stood up anxiously with an "ouch", and the other poker players couldn't help cursing.

Cheng Jun raised his chin, "Hit me!"

Lin Aizhen said impatiently: "It's not over, do you still want to play?"

Cheng Jun sneered, turned around and strode towards the kitchen.She rummaged through the kitchen to find some peanuts, and sprinkled them at the door. Xiaohui yelled happily, and stopped on her hand to peck quickly.After eating, Cheng Jun patted it on the head, "Okay, let's go back."

Usually at this time, Xiao Hui lingers for a while when he is full and then flies away.

But today, instead of leaving, Xiao Hui stopped on her shoulder and gently pecked her hair.Cheng Jun was puzzled, he thought it was not full and was throwing a temper tantrum, so he comforted him: "I'll ask Uncle Zhong to feed you again later, be good."

Xiao Hui was still pecking at her hair non-stop, she realized the abnormality, frowned and stretched out her hand to grab Xiao Hui, "Why..."

She stopped suddenly, but her heartbeat accelerated suddenly.

After Lu Renzhou left, Xiao Hui never sent her a letter.

She bit her lip, and took off the note from Xiao Hui's leg, seeing the familiar note, her eyes suddenly became hot.

"Xiao Chengjun, I'm back home. You've taken good care of Xiao Hui, that's awesome. ——Lu Renzhou."

Vigorous and powerful, penetrating through the back of the paper, it is his handwriting.

Cheng Jun laughed through his tears, wiped his eyes, and muttered softly: "You still treat me like a child."

She squeezed the note and squatted in front of Xiao Hui for a long time in a daze. Xiao Hui sensed her emotions and quietly flew to the stone bench by the roadside to wait for her.

When Lin Xiaoguang went to look for her, he saw her squatting blankly beside the stone bench in her house. "I thought you haven't come back yet, so you won't be beaten up by the police uncle?" He said.

Cheng Jun was not angry, he raised his head and smiled at him until Lin Xiaoguang got goosebumps all over his body.He raised the admission notice in his hand, "Your, it's from No. [-] Middle School. Hey, you didn't even see my mother's face, saying that she would get me into No. [-] Middle School together at any cost, and we can be alumni again." gone."

Cheng Jun was still laughing, Lin Xiaoguang stuffed the notice into her hand, "I'm terrified when you're like this, my mother didn't help you in the morning, don't blame me..."

"I don't blame you." Cheng Jun interrupted him, smiling, "The police station is really a good place."

Lin Xiaoguang bared his lips and shook his head, "I'll come to you when you're back to normal."

Cheng Jun laughed silly.

Lin Xiaoguang ran away in fright.

Cheng Jun squatted at the foot of the wall, a little dizzy and sweetly stuffing the note onto Xiao Hui's anklet.Xiao Hui circled in the air for two more times before flying away. She squinted her eyes and waved, "Go, go."

Her reply to Lu Renzhou was: "Then when can you come to Zhangxiang? I have passed the high school entrance examination and just received the notice. The summer vacation is very boring. ——Cheng Jun."

In fact, Lu Renzhou didn't tell her any great truths, probably because he thought she was too young at that time, and he might not be able to listen to what he said.The only time that left a deep impression on her was the time Cheng Jun spent the night at the Lu residence.She stayed in Lu's house for two days, and Lu Renzhou would always come home from get off work early in the evening and drive her to the pigeon loft.

On the night Ye Chengcheng said that he would come to pick her up and go back to Zhangxiang, she helped Lu Renzhou clean up the returning pigeons in the pigeon loft.

Lu Renzhou asked her to stand by the side and flush the ground with a hose, while he himself was wearing the most homely shorts and slippers, bent over with a broom and vigorously cleaned the pigeon loft.The setting sun and sunset covered the sky, and both of them were stained with blush.When it was almost finished, Cheng Jun lowered his head and asked him in a muffled voice, what should she do if she doesn't want to go home?
Lu Renzhou asked her why, she thought for a long time and said that she hated going home.

Cheng Jun remembered very clearly that at that time he turned his head and gave her a deep look, and instead of giving her an answer right away, he put away the cleaning tools neatly.Cheng Jun stood still. Lu Renzhou washed his hands and walked over to rub her hair. After a moment of silence, he bent down, looked into her eyes and said slowly, "If you want to change the status quo, you can only rely on yourself."

That sentence was almost cruel to her.

But at the age of 13, she understood his intentions. She had to keep working hard, and one day, she could live the life she wanted by herself.Others can't help her, neither can her brother, nor can he.

He made an agreement with her that when he returned to China three years later, if she was admitted to high school, he would help her realize a wish.

The sun was scorching the ground, and the tip of his nose was covered with sweat. When he lowered his head, Cheng Jun felt dizzy again.Reluctantly, she leaned on the wall and stood up. It was dark before her eyes, and it took her a while to recover.She didn't eat anything from last night until now, she touched her pockets, and her joyful mood was still undiminished.

He is back.

When she understood more, expected less, and was eager to grow up a little more, when she knew better that he took care of him more wholeheartedly than Ye Chengcheng in those years, he came back.

She couldn't wait for Xiao Hui to go back, and went back to the living room to grab the phone.The people at the card table saw her go and come back in a hurry, and they couldn't help scanning her vigilantly with the tails of their eyes, Cheng Jun curled his lips and had no time to answer them.

On Jiang Lin's side, Uncle Zhong was sitting on the sofa planning to call her, but Xiao Hui didn't return after a while, he was worried that something might happen on the way.In the past three years, he occasionally came to Jianglin to participate in pigeon races, and he would come over to deliver pigeon food to Cheng Jun. After taking her to dinner a few times, the two became old friends. When he saw Cheng Jun's call, he immediately answered it.

"Is he back?"

"Is it back?"

"..."

After the two were dizzy and chatted for a while, Uncle Zhong regretfully told Cheng Jun that Lu Renzhou had gone out.There are a lot of things to do just after returning to China, so the morning note was written in advance and let Uncle Zhong do it for him.

From last night to morning, her mood was like a roller coaster, she lifted it tightly and then dropped it high, tossing back and forth.At this moment, accompanied by the empty throbbing pain in his stomach, and the fact that he barely slept last night, Cheng Jun only felt dizzy.After hanging up the phone, she sat still on the old sofa chair, and when she saw Lin Aizhen give up her seat to someone else, she also stood up.

Lin Aizhen, who will be able to celebrate her [-]th birthday in a few years, unexpectedly found out that she was pregnant half a month ago. When Cheng Jun heard the news, she couldn't help but sneered.Lin Aizhen herself was stunned for a long time when she saw the test report. She had lived a peaceful life for more than ten years, but she never thought that this kind of thing would happen when she was old.

Wang Zhiqiang actually has a wife and children, because he couldn't stand his family's gambling addiction, so he ran away early.When he and his mother heard the news, when they rushed to the hospital, their jaws almost dropped from joy, they surrounded Lin Aizhen and worshiped her as Lafayette.

As for Lin Aizhen's thinking, Cheng Jun doesn't know. He only knows that a few days after she came back from the hospital, she ruthlessly corrected the upside-down work and rest habits for more than ten years, and began to resume her day and night work and rest. Time to sit at the poker table.

The stomach is only two months old, and it is not obvious.Cheng Jun watched Lin Aizhen walk into the room slowly with her waist supported, and hurriedly followed in. Wang Xuelian sat on the poker table and kept paying attention to their movements with her small eyes from the corner of her eye.

At this time, Wang Zhiqiang was sleeping in Lin Aizhen's room. Lin Aizhen entered the room and leaned on the bed, glanced at Cheng Jun, "What are you doing?"

Cheng Jun showed her the notice from No. [-] Middle School, and Lin Aizhen threw it on the table after raising her eyelids, "Got it."

"I lost the money, give me some more." Cheng Jun said.

At the beginning of each month, Empress Lin Ai will give Cheng Jun a fixed amount of living expenses, and spend it as Cheng Jun likes.Lin Aizhen probably developed a habit when she was a rich wife when she was young, and her concept of money has always been vague.So her poker friends all like to play with her, and who doesn't like Money Jar.

In terms of money, Cheng Jun asked for it, and she gave it, never asking too much, this has always been the practice.But today she leaned against the bed and was obviously not happy, "How did you lose it?"

"It happened to be robbed."

Lin Aizhen let out a "ho" and glanced up and down at her, "Where are you fooling around?"

"I didn't go to steal chickens and dogs." Cheng Jun replied firmly.

Lin Aizhen smiled coldly, opened the drawer, and gave her one hundred, "From now on, I will give you six hundred at the beginning of the month, and I won't give you any other time. You can figure it out."

Cheng Jun was stunned for a moment, then took the money, with a contemptuous smile on his face, "The old woman's words are really useful." Lin Aizhen really planned to listen when she said that children's bad habits of spending money should be controlled.

After Cheng Jun finished speaking, he slammed the door and left without looking back.

After casually eating something on the street, Cheng Jun covered his forehead with one hand and walked down the road in a sullen mood.The Internet cafe was blocked, and she suddenly had no other place to live.

Cheng Jun stopped in front of the telephone booth, thought for a moment before opening the door and entering.

When the call was connected, Ye Chengcheng glanced at the strange caller, and answered the call while flipping through the folder, "Hello, who is it?"

"Brother, it's me."

"Chengjun? Is there something wrong?" Ye Chengcheng stopped his movements.

Cheng Jun paused, "I have received the admission letter from high school, can you pick me up and go to Jianglin for a while?"

Ye Chengcheng had officially taken over the heavy responsibility of Ye Shi two years ago, while Yang Lanshu stepped back to take over the overall situation.After his grandfather passed away, Ye Chengcheng handed over to Lin Aizhen the equity transfer letter that his grandfather had given to Chengjun, and it will come into effect after Chengjun turns eighteen.

Ye Chengcheng would call her occasionally, but he never saw her again, and Cheng Jun didn't take it seriously.

It was rare for Cheng Jun to make a request to him. Ye Chengcheng pondered for a moment and said, "I'll discuss it with my mother and ask the secretary to pick you up in the afternoon. Another thing is that I've been very busy recently, so I may not have time to accompany you."

"it does not matter."

Ye Chengcheng's secretary came quickly with fruits and gifts. When Cheng Jun followed him into the car, he felt many eyes staring at her from behind.She turned and made a face behind her.

The secretary sent her to Ye Chengcheng's apartment and left. Cheng Jun closed the door, turned around, picked up the phone impatiently, and dialed Uncle Zhong.

After going to the pigeon loft, she finally let out a long breath with a grin. Knowing that he hadn't come back yet, she couldn't help feeling nervous.When Uncle Zhong called Ye Chengcheng, he smiled and sighed: "When I was young, I was a little radish, and I ran away from home every now and then. Now I'm really grown up."

When the sun was about to set, Cheng Jun climbed up to the roof of the pigeon loft.Xiao Hui stayed in the pigeon coop, when he saw someone coming up, he tilted his head and took a look, and after seeing clearly, he flapped his wings excitedly, making the pigeons next to him excited too.

Lu Renzhou has been back for a few days, and he has been socializing for several days, and it is rare that he can return early one day.After calling home, I turned off the phone and drove back to the loft.

He pushed open the courtyard door, and when he heard the familiar "cuckoo" sound, his face lost a little fatigue.

He raised his head, and at a glance, he saw that thin girl standing on a high place, waving his black flag in her hand.That action was exactly the same as that of him seven years ago, repeating an instruction over and over again: Danger, run away.Danger, run away.

The action is beautiful.Clean and neat.

In the sky full of sunset clouds, there was only one pigeon, which was the carrier pigeon he gave her that winter.Follow her movements tirelessly, go through the sky, come back, go away through the sky, come back.

Time seemed to go back to seven years ago, one person was performing and the other was watching.Only this time, it was him who was amazed.

Lu Renzhou stood in the yard and did not disturb her.

The little girl has grown taller, she seems to be thinner than when she was a child, and her legs are pitifully thin under the setting sun.Just like when I was a child, with a ponytail, revealing a smooth forehead, flicking and flicking with the movements.The corners of the mouth were raised high, and there was a kind of light in the eyes, which Lu Renzhou felt inexplicably familiar.

He didn't know that this kind of light was exactly what Cheng Jun saw in his eyes seven years ago.

Uncle Zhong came out of the house and said with a smile: "Finally back, the little girl has been waiting all afternoon."

When Cheng Jun heard Uncle Zhong's voice, his heart trembled, and he lowered his head subconsciously, the color of the sunset was still reflected in his eyes.He saw the man in white clothes and black trousers, with his hands in his pockets, looking at her leisurely.

With a familiar and warm smile on the corner of his mouth, he called out warmly: "Cheng Jun."

Cheng Jun didn't know why, but at that moment, a feeling of grievance surged in his heart, which was overwhelming and overwhelmed his joy.

An unprecedented feeling.

She shrank her head, and after a while, Lu Renzhou heard the sound of "bang bang bang" going down the stairs.He walked over and saw the little girl running down in two steps in three steps.

"Slow down." He laughed.

She rushed down, but stopped at the last step.His eyes stared at him motionlessly, he panted slightly, and his chest rose and fell slightly.

Lu Renzhou curled his mouth and slowly opened his hand.Hi little girl!

Cheng Jun pursed his lips, closed his eyes and plunged into his arms, wrapping his hands tightly around his waist.The little girl pressed against his chest, Lu Renzhou's figure paused slightly, and after a while, he still folded his arms and gently encircled her.

"Cheng Jun misses me?"

Cheng Jun pressed against his chest and the tip of his nose was full of his familiar smell. She didn't speak, but shook her head, and quickly nodded heavily again.

Lu Renzhou laughed lowly and patted her on the shoulder.After a while, he pulled her out of his arms, lowered his head and stroked her hair, "You have grown up."

When I hugged you, for a moment I lost the calmness I had before.
