Chapter 6 Hot Summer
Every spring when everything comes back to life, my mother's condition will get worse, she will run around, and when it is serious, she will pick up rocks and throw people at people. Every day after school, he has to rush home to take care of her.

He pushed open the courtyard door, and his mother was hanging the quilt in the yard, and she smiled at him: "The weather is so nice."

His mother's condition didn't look bad, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and went into the house with the documents in his arms.Although the classmates said he was a top student, they never knew the hardships he had put in for the word "Schoolmaster". Just like now, Su Mei and her friends are playing the latest racing car outside in the sun, while he wants to Fight a complex math problem.

In the morning sun, he finally saw a glimmer of dawn, but a scream killed the dawn.He pushed open the window angrily, and the boy who was with Su Mei just now rolled on the ground with his head in his arms, and it was Su Mei who yelled: "Lu Haiyang, come out, your mother killed someone."

He saw the dull-looking mother behind Su Mei, holding a big stone in her hand, clapping her hands while jumping: "I finally hit you."

It was only then that he remembered that when he entered the yard, he had neglected to put the copper lock on the door. He pushed the door open like crazy, and there were already crowds watching on the road. He ran over to protect his mother like an eagle.

"Lu Haiyang, is your family crazy?" Song Wenqi, who got up from the ground, blurted out habitually. As a victim, he had no idea that Lu Haiyang's mother was mentally ill.

Lu Haiyang took his mother's hand and stared at Song Wenqi fiercely: "Your family is crazy."

Song Wenqi, a well-protected young man, has never suffered such disregard. He was so angry that he took out his mobile phone: "Lu Haiyang, I want to call the police, intentionally hurting."

Lu Haiyang didn't talk to him much, turned around and left.

Song Wenqi's posture of making a phone call froze there, and it was hard to get off the tiger. If no one came out to smooth things over at this time, then Song Wenqi would really call the police.Su Mei couldn't hold it anymore, she begged softly: "Song Wenqi, don't call the police for minor injuries, okay?"

"A little injury?" Song Wenqi was still angry, and he pushed back the hair on his forehead, where a layer of blood scab had already condensed, "You call it a small injury because of such a big hole knocked by a stone for some reason?"

"But you shouldn't say his mother is crazy, she's just slightly mentally abnormal." Su Mei growled.

His mother is mentally abnormal?Song Wenqi looked at Lu Haiyang's back, he carefully protected his mother under his armpit.At that moment, Song Wenqi suspected for the first time that he, the rumored bad, ruffian and rich boy, might not have a heart of stone. Seeing Lu Haiyang's expression, his chest was aroused. Layers of gentle ripples.He took the mobile phone and stuffed it back into his pocket in frustration: "For your sake, I won't report it."

The conversation between Su Mei and Song Wenqi was overheard by Lu Haiyang. When Su Mei said that his mother was just slightly mentally abnormal, the words hit his heart like a bullet. He turned around and looked at Su Mei. : "I don't need you to humbly pretend to be kind here, call the police if you call the police, I don't care."

"You think I like to beg for help. I'm not doing it for your own good. If you report to the police, you will be finished in the future, and your postgraduate entrance examination and work will be affected." Su Mei said loudly.

"Thanks, I don't need it." What a decisive six words.

After all, Su Mei didn't argue any more, she stood there, many things she wanted to say emptied for a long time, but she didn't know where to start.His "no need" is enough to kill all her language.In the emotional world, everyone will have too many grievances.She ran away without a word in tears, looking at her back, Song Wenqi's long patience seemed to collapse in an instant, and he punched Lu Haiyang in the face: "Lu Haiyang, you bastard!" , can't you see that she is kind?"

Asshole be asshole, he's had enough of being low in the dust in front of her.A girl like her should be smiling while covering her mouth, yo, Lu Haiyang, you lonely guy has today.Instead of standing next to him, pleading with others with a low eyebrow.He held his mother's hand and quietly watched Su Mei run towards the other side of the road.No one noticed that there was a momentary pain and emptiness in his clear eyes.

He returned home with all his injuries protecting his mother, and his father was calling Su Yuan'an: "Be good with Boss Song, please intercede for me."

"It was Hai Yang who caused the trouble, Su Mei was not there.

"If you really report to the police, file a case and enter the juvenile detention center, this year's college entrance examination will be over. Please help."

It turned out that his mother hurt someone on the road just now, and he had a dispute with Song Wenqi. When he was struggling to solve the incident by himself, his father had been watching.Thinking of this, Lu Haiyang kicked the phone away and growled stubbornly: "Can you take this matter on your own shoulders? Every time something happens at home, you just ask for help. I wish you were worthless like this."

Father rubbed his hands and looked at him guiltily.

He put his mother on the sofa, Su Mei's downcast eyes and tears kept dangling in front of his eyes, he closed the door and buried himself in the soft quilt.

It was only later that he realized how many wrong revenges and self-abuses he had gone through when he was young, and he was punishing himself for his humbleness.

It turned out that at that time, he had already been tortured by his family to the point of becoming an old man, and lacked the courage to overcome obstacles.

Su Mei sat on the side of the road, crying ugly, she didn't want to go home in tears.Song Wenqi came over by bicycle: "Su Mei, you are crying too badly."

"How ugly?" Her wrinkled face was like dried tangerine peel.

"It's too difficult, I dare not look at it." He frowned, and handed her a pack of tissues, "He is not good enough for you."

"Then you are worthy?"

"Of course I deserve it. Do you know how many love letters I receive every day?"

Su Mei broke into a smile, her eyes narrowed slightly.Song Wenqi doesn't look very annoying, he has a pair of exquisite and picturesque narrow eyes, and his handsome eyebrows are raised from time to time, with the arrogance of being pampered since childhood.

Song Wenqi met her gaze and smiled contemptuously: "I found out that I'm good, do you regret liking that Lu Haiyang?"

Su Mei didn't look at him anymore, she raised her head: "I never regret what I do."

Song Wenqi withdrew his contemptuous gaze, he forgot to speak while sitting in the car.He looked at Su Mei, it turns out that when a person devotes all her enthusiasm to one thing, the corners of her eyes and brows will make people feel obsessed.

This kind of enthusiasm is unfamiliar to Song Wenqi. For so many years, he left home to study at the age of 13. Apart from accepting the arrangement of his parents, he rarely had the opportunity to express his emotions.He didn't have the so-called rebellious adolescence. His world seemed colorful to others, but only he knew it was worthless.But when he was used to accepting life as forbidding and unmoving as a desert, he suddenly broke into a Su Mei.

To him, she is like the wind, more like sea water, free and lively, daring to love and chase after.At that time, he hadn't experienced the intrigues in the mall, he was just so innocent and stupid.At that time, his mood was really good. Maybe he had to pass through his youth before he could know how sad a secret love is.

Some people want to see but can't get close easily, some people don't want to see but always hang around in front of you, for example, Song Wenqi seems to have endless time, always hanging around in front of her.Su Mei frowned, and stared at Song Wenqi expressionlessly: "Why haven't you gone abroad yet? Are you not starting school yet?"

"I don't want to go."

"Why? Fired?"

"Because I want to live together with you." Song Wenqi said funny.

"I'm sick." Su Mei frowned.

"I was teasing you." Song Wen said with a smile, "People like us, we are spoiled and spoiled since we were young, and we are stupid and bullied all over the world, so I dropped out of school and stayed here to help my dad."

"That's right, there's nothing you can do about IQ. You might as well learn business from your father, and you won't be successful when you get old." Su Mei teased.

After separating from Song Wenqi, Su Mei asked Liang Yi to go shopping together. She mentioned Song Wenqi's refusal to study abroad, and Liang Yi exclaimed: "It's not because of you, is it?"

"Don't think of him as a love interest, he just has poor grades, he can't keep up with the rhythm abroad and is often bullied, so he stayed and learned business from his father." Su Mei said.

Liang Yi just sighed, he didn't expect such a beautiful person to be a guy with low IQ, he really had a good skin.

When Liang Yi was looking at the fruit shop at night, his younger brother brought a programming problem.

Liang Yi's younger brother, who was two years younger than her, was studying computer programming in a vocational high school. Liang Yi climbed up to the programming forum for help after seeing the densely packed topics with a headache.

Someone threw her a QQ, saying that she is a programming expert who came back from abroad, and there is no problem to stump him.

Liang Yi joined QQ and sent a verification message, and the other party quickly added her.

The person on QQ is really a master of programming, and quickly wrote the program for her. When she closed QQ, she suddenly found that the person's profile picture looked like Song Wenqi.But Su Mei said that he, like them, is a person with few brain gaps, how could he be this magical programming master on the Internet.

There are many people who look alike in the world, and she didn't find it strange, so she turned off QQ casually and got under the covers.

The first semester was spent in ignorance. As soon as the second semester started, Su Yuan'an had a talk with Su Mei. The main idea was to ask her to work harder. As long as she was willing to continue her studies, he would be happy to spend more money. .

When Su Mei heard these words, she felt overwhelmed with pride. She ran to Lu Haiyang's desk and knocked on his desk: "Lu Haiyang, what school do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination in the future?"

"Why are you asking this?"

Su Mei's pupils shrank slightly, was he really stupid or did it on purpose?Of course she wanted to go to the same school as him.She said angrily, "Can't you care about it?"

Lu Haiyang's tone was cold as if mixed with chills: "Thank you, I will take the postgraduate entrance examination of B University in the future, and you will not pass the entrance examination."

Su Mei's eyes widened, B was big, it was a well-known university in the whole country, even if her father was willing to spend money, he wouldn't be able to buy it, seeing Lu Haiyang sitting upright, Su Mei was completely discouraged.

Su Mei sat downcastly in the fruit shop of Liang Yi's house, Liang Yi sighed and said, "Life is too cruel, you can't keep up with your family's Xueba, or you give up, I think that Song Wen Qi is a good candidate for a spare tire."

"You just can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. I don't believe that Lu Haiyang has three heads and six arms, and I don't believe that I can't handle him." Su Mei grabbed the fruit on the Liangyi shelf and ate it, as if food could give her infinite food. strength.

Su Mei did what she said, and the first step she thought of was to influence him, to capture people first, to capture his heart, what she had to do was to melt Lu Haiyang's heart first.

Heartbeat is worse than action. On the weekend, Su Mei ran to the port early, and Lu Haiyang was helping to unload the cargo.She stood there wearing a long skirt: "Lu Haiyang, let me help you."

Lu Haiyang looked at her long white dress, her friendly and flattering eyes, he just felt that the heart wall he had built was about to be torn down again.

Before he had time to speak, the whistle behind him was louder and louder than the waves, and the taunting language was more ferocious than the waves: "Hey, Lu Haiyang is really not easy, the eldest lady is here to help you."

Su Mei raised her eyebrows: "If you don't work anymore, I will tell my dad that you are lazy."

The young workers hugged the boxes and made birds and beasts scatter. At that moment, time seemed to freeze into eternity.Su Mei waited for Lu Haiyang to speak, but he remained silent.

Suddenly, she saw his tense face begin to relax, this cautious boy, he smiled towards the pier.It turned out that Zhou Xiaochen jumped off the pier with a book.

Then he walked over: "Is there something wrong?"

"A little thing."

Lu Haiyang wiped his hands on his clothes and smiled slightly.Su Mei only felt sore in her heart. She thought he would only be gentle and enthusiastic towards a cat, but it turned out that he just sealed his lava-like enthusiasm in an indifferent shell, and once he met the right person, he would show it.

She looked at Zhou Xiaochen resentfully: "Zhou Xiaochen, what are you doing at my port on the big weekend without sleeping?"

"I don't understand some questions, so I want to ask Lu Haiyang." Zhou Xiaochen replied generously.

"Now is his working time, no chatting."

Zhou Xiaochen sensed the shadow of the sword, hiding his murderous intentions.

"I'm just here to help, not your worker." Lu Haiyang took the information in Zhou Xiaochen's hand, he stopped, turned around, his gaze was cold.

"Well, just give it a try. If I say a word, your whole family will live on the street." She looked at Lu Haiyang angrily.

"Why don't you explain it to me after you finish your work. I'm not in a hurry. I haven't been in the sea for a long time, so I can play at the beach for a while." Zhou Xiaochen rolled up his trouser legs obediently and ran to the beach.

Lu Haiyang hugged the box and gave her a cold look.Those eyes, with a refreshing moisture, eroded Su Mei's reason.She pretended to be proud and folded her arms: "I said, you can only listen to me. I said you are a worker in my family, and you are, all your life."

Lu Haiyang didn't speak, he walked towards the cold storage with the box in his arms.

"Lu Haiyang, starfish."

Zhou Xiaochen on the side suddenly yelled.She pouted, starfish, it's not a bomb, is there any need to make such a fuss?

"Don't move, it's poisonous." Lu Haiyang dropped the box in his hand and rushed towards Zhou Xiaochen.

He squatted on the ground, obviously nervous, and he held Zhou Xiaochen's leg carefully and gently.

"Lu Haiyang, I also have a starfish on my leg." Su Mei felt something strange on her leg, it turned out that she also had a starfish coiled on her leg.

"You grew up in the sea, handle it yourself." Lu Haiyang said lightly, without even raising his head.

Zhou Xiaochen thought that Su Mei would scold Lu Haiyang like she always yelled, or push him away fiercely.But she didn't come forward, she just watched Lu Haiyang pull out the poisonous starfish for her from a distance, apart from a little jealousy, there was even a trace of loneliness in her eyes: "Lu Haiyang, do I really hate you?"

After a while, he said, "You should have known earlier."

The sunset at the port was sinking, and Zhou Xiaochen saw that Huoshaoyun behind her had applied a patch of red rouge on her face, shining brightly, but her eyes were dim.She stared deeply at Lu Haiyang, her black eyes were quickly covered with a thin layer of tear film, and the shimmering waves flickered, she actually resisted not letting the tear film turn into tears.She tore off the starfish from her leg and threw it towards Lu Haiyang: "Lu Haiyang, you will definitely regret it."

"You did it on purpose to anger her." Zhou Xiaochen said after Su Mei walked away.

Lu Haiyang remained silent, as if he didn't have the strength to argue anymore, he looked at the starfish that Su Mei threw at his feet, and smiled weakly.He understood the meaning of Zhou Xiaochen's words, and he also knew that he didn't really hate Su Mei.He was just cowardly, and Su Mei's sharpness and publicity were like wildfire in his eyes, so he tried his best to resist that attraction, resisting it very hard.

June is here, and the wind in Encheng, which is close to the sea, is filled with the salty smell of the sea, and it is as hot as a lover's mouth.

No matter how brutal the weather was, they couldn't resist the girls' gossip. The girls started chatting about the weather and clothes, but the chatter became more and more outrageous, and even involved Lu Haiyang and Zhou Xiaochen.

"Lu Haiyang and Zhou Xiaochen are getting closer and closer."

"I heard that the two of you are doing research together during this time."

"They participated in a large-scale computer competition together, and won the grand prize of this competition. The scholarship is generous, and they can also get extra points for the postgraduate entrance examination in the future."

"The two of them will definitely win the prize."

"Scholar couples will definitely not disappoint."

Su Mei, who was buried in her thoughts, raised her head and looked at the crowd with a serious expression: "Have you said enough?" After speaking, she dropped the book in her hand and rushed out the door.

At the top of the stairs, Zhou Xiaochen was carrying a stack of materials upstairs, seeing her angry, he smiled and said, "Su Mei, what's the matter with you?"

"Get out of the way." Su Mei bumped her and rushed downstairs.

Zhou Xiaochen's whole body was unsteady and he leaned back and fell on the stairs.

Su Mei didn't expect to get into such a big trouble. Although she hated Zhou Xiaochen very much, she still sent Zhou Xiaochen to the school doctor's office.Fortunately, the school doctor confirmed that Zhou Xiaochen was fine, and fell down only because of a little anemia.

In the evening, it rained heavily again in Encheng. The summer rain was accompanied by thunder and lightning, which was rapid and violent.

Su Mei was awakened by a knock on the door in the middle of the night, turned on the light, and saw Lu Haiyang slamming on her door viciously.

"Lu Haiyang, it's the middle of the night, why are you crazy?"

Lu Haiyang looked at her, almost without thinking: "Did you push Zhou Xiaochen down on purpose?"

Su Mei was stunned to understand that he was angry about what happened during the day.But didn't the school doctor say that Zhou Xiaochen was fine? Besides, even if something happened to Zhou Xiaochen, it would be his turn to take care of it.She pushed him away without thinking: "Who are you to her, why do you come to settle accounts with me?"

What Lu Haiyang hates the most is her domineering demeanor that refuses to admit her mistakes: "Zhou Xiaochen fainted again, and the doctor said that there may be sequelae, and he needs to observe for one night. If Zhou Xiaochen has something to do, I will never end with you."

Su Mei shrugged her shoulders, and sneered: "Why is it endless? Do you want me to show my ambition with death? Well, I'll show you my death right now." After finishing speaking, she broke free from his hand and ran towards the outside where the lightning flashed and thundered.

The nanny of Su Mei's family was already petrified by this scene, the master was not there, Su Yuan'an went to another place, Ye Meixiang went to play mahjong, she was stunned and at a loss.

Seeing Su Mei's back getting farther and farther away, Lu Haiyang woke up suddenly as if struck by lightning, and ran out behind Su Mei.

Why are there so many ports in Encheng?Standing on the road, he suddenly felt panicked.That perverse, violent and bad-tempered Su Mei, she obviously deserved it, but why should he meddle in her own business?

He strode off into the rain, his most desperate search ever.The port of Encheng, the beach, he found the dawn from the middle of the night.The next day, Su Mei was found by her family in an abandoned warehouse. She was shivering with cold and could not speak a word.Standing behind her family, Lu Haiyang was relieved to see that she was safe and sound.

No one knew that he had been looking for her all night in the rain.As a result of being exposed to the rain, Lu Haiyang developed a fever, and his face was red from the fever.After being sent to the hospital for a day, the whole person was still talking nonsense.

On the second day of the high fever, Lu Haiyang's father jumped up anxiously: "Doctor, what can I do, he will participate in a big competition in two days, this competition is very important to him."

"Going to the competition with the fever?" The doctor stopped him, "Even if the fever subsides, he must be hospitalized for observation. What competition is more important than life?"

Lu Haiyang struggled to stand up.

For him, life is the future.

He didn't want to live in this kind of life where he would be pointed at by spoiled and perverted girls and called him a servant when he showed up. He was tired of this kind of life under the fence.Although the competition is not a big deal for others, for a student from a poor family like him, it is a life-saving rope.

"It doesn't matter to me, I can persist." He put on his shoes in a trance, ready to open the door and leave.

"I'm so sick and still refuse to rest." The doctor complained.

In the end, Lu Qingsong forced him down on the bed.

That afternoon, Lu Haiyang's high fever finally subsided, and after resting in the hospital for two days, Lu Haiyang dragged his seriously ill body to the competition.

As you can imagine, the failure of Xueba became a topic of lament for the teacher.With the loss of the game and the persistent high fever, his body, which he had managed to recover, suddenly collapsed.

These days when Lu Haiyang was hospitalized, Su Mei would lie on the balcony and watch the movement in the yard next door every day.

During the past few days when Lu Haiyang went to participate in the competition, she also lay on the balcony every day.

When the result of the competition came out, Su Mei shed a lot of tears. She knew that the result of the competition was very important to Lu Haiyang. If time could be restarted, she would not be so willful.

She was lying on the balcony, the storm was coming, in July in Encheng, the storm came as soon as it was said, and the back and forth wind made her face wet.But she didn't seem to feel it. After a while, the wind became stronger and black clouds covered the city. Looking down from the balcony, the locust tree in front of the door was rustling.

Lu Haiyang was standing in the yard collecting his clothes, maybe the wind was blowing too hard, maybe she was crying, his face was blurred.But she didn't dare to call his name, and she didn't dare to approach him. She knew that he would definitely not want to see her at this moment.

This time it rained heavily for three days, and when the storm came, the port was closed.Lu Haiyang was sitting in the living room feeding the cat while his father whispered on the phone in a corner: "I need it so urgently, can you wait a few days?"

"Please, the wages have not been paid recently, and money is a bit tight."

Lu Haiyang, who was feeding the cat, listened to these words verbatim, and his father hung up the phone and buried himself in the sofa with a sad face.Lu Haiyang patted the cat's butt and let it play alone. He looked at his father and asked, "Do you owe money?"

His father was left speechless by his question, so guilty that he began to be unreasonable: "Why are you asking these questions, a child?"

He looked at his father irritably: "How can you owe money?"

"A friend introduced me to an investment project, saying that it would pay back the capital in three months, but it turned out to be nothing." My father raised his head from the sofa, knowing that he couldn't hide it, and said carefully.

Investment failed?

Lu Haiyang opened his eyes wide. What kind of investment is he, a worker guarding the cold storage, doing?The people and cats in the living room were silent for a while.What Lu Haiyang really felt frustrated was that he was surrounded by enemies, his mother's illness, his own studies, and his father's job to make ends meet.He didn't know when there would be an unexpected situation, but he never expected that the situation would happen one after another.

"How much do you owe?"

"10 usury."

Lu Haiyang was suddenly so sad that he couldn't breathe. The house was rented, his mother was seriously ill, and he still had to study for a postgraduate entrance examination. He knew that all those loan sharks were vampires. How would he pay them back?
The father curled up on the sofa: "Don't worry about the money, you can study at ease, there is always a way."

"I don't read anymore."

"Don't worry about the money." His father was suddenly furious when he heard that he refused to read any more.

"Then how do you pay it back? Sell your son or your wife?" Lu Haiyang roared angrily, "Your brain has been eaten by sharks. There is such a good investment waiting for you to keep the cold storage?"

"Don't I also want you and your mother to live a happy life? Look at Su Mei, who is as old as you and has everything."

Hearing his father's words, Lu Haiyang felt as if his whole body was frozen, unable to think or blame. This was just a small wish of his father. Although it was broken in the end, the source of everything was good. of.He was silent for a moment, and suddenly said cautiously: "I won't study anymore, I will go to find a job tomorrow, and you will never be able to repay this money in your lifetime."

Lu Qingsong stopped talking, just sat on the sofa with dull eyes.
