south wind into my arms

Chapter 8

The alley was too narrow for a taxi to enter. Lu Sheng and Nanfeng got off at the entrance of the alley.

Lu Sheng stood at the entrance of the alley, blinking and explained to Nanfeng, "This alley was once published in a newspaper."

"is it?"

"Well! But it was a long time ago. There was a young man who was waiting for someone here with a rose, and the photographer took a picture of him, and he won an award for that photo."

Lu Sheng had seen that photo before.The young man in the photo is tall and thin, and the rose in his hand is very bright.He stood at the entrance of the alley, and the bright and bright bustling road outside was in the same frame as the dilapidated residential houses deep in the alley, forming a strong visual impact.The name of the photo is "City".

The 12-year-old Lu Sheng does not understand the artistic charm of photography, she just has a little primitive pride in it.

The two walked into the alley side by side.Most of these alleys are not as beautiful as the poets wrote.The space is narrow, the road surface is ditched, and occasionally sewage accumulates in the ditch, exuding a rotten smell.Trash cans are dirtier than trash and a treasure trove of flies.Illegal buildings occupy the road in a mess, and there is a shirtless man under the house scolding his wife...

Nanfeng took a deep breath.It was really, the first time he had seen such a place.

When she walked downstairs of her house, Lu Sheng looked up, and she saw her mother smoking a cigarette while leaning on the window sill, and the window was wide open.Lu Sheng had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, my mother saw her, and cursed through the window, "Where did you die? You didn't come home all day! You still know how to come back? Why didn't you die outside?"

Nan Feng didn't realize it at first, thinking it was a couple who were arguing, but when Lu Sheng lowered his head and said "I'm going home first, goodbye", Nan Feng realized that the woman was scolding Lu Sheng.

Simply inexplicable, he grabbed Lu Sheng and asked, "Is that your mother?"

"Yeah." Lu Sheng buried her head very low, she didn't want to face him at this moment.She hoped to be beautiful and comfortable in front of him, instead of puncturing her rotten abscess in front of him.

Nanfeng was a little angry, how could there be such a mother.He took a deep breath and was about to speak when Lu Sheng broke away from him and ran away.

run away.

Nanfeng looked at her flustered back, feeling a little weak all of a sudden.That's her mother, what position does he have to intervene in this kind of thing?

Lu Sheng met Kangxi at the corridor entrance.Kangxi was about to go out when he saw Lu Sheng and suddenly smiled brightly, "Oh little rope, I haven't seen you for a long time?"

"Ah."

Lu Sheng didn't really want to go home now, so he stood at the entrance of the corridor and talked to him.

Kangxi: "What have you been doing lately? You're not here after school."

Lu Sheng: "I went to learn tennis."

Kangxi was a little surprised, "Really? How is it? Is tennis fun?"

"Quite fun."

"Do you want money?"

"want."

"Oh, where did you get the money? Could it be from your mother?" Kangxi looked disbelieving.

Lu Sheng lied calmly, "The teacher thinks I'm talented, so I'm free."

"Ah, really? That's great, that's great. I'll try it later."

After talking for a while, Kangxi stopped going out and went upstairs with Lu Sheng.

When Lu Sheng came home, her mother had finished smoking. She was sitting on the dirty sofa in the small living room and asked Lu Sheng coldly, "Who is that person?"

"coach."

"Is there such a young coach? The coach still cares about sending the students home?" Seeing that Lu Sheng remained silent, she suddenly raised her voice, "Don't he have bad intentions for you?"

Lu Sheng ignored her and looked for books to study for homework by himself.After all, she was in the sixth grade, and she still had to face the entrance examination.

Mom hates her stinky virtue of being a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and said with a sneer, "Don't be ignorant of good people. If you are deceived by him, your life will be over."

Lu Sheng thought to himself, what is there for him to lie to me?Of course, I will not lie to him...

Mom: "Don't you believe it? I'm waiting to see what happens to you! That kid doesn't look like a good person at first glance, little bastard, right? He still has scars!"

Lu Sheng couldn't stand someone saying bad things about Nan Feng the most, so he shot back: "You yourself were deceived by a man, do you think all men in the world are bad guys?"

Snapped!
Mom raised her hand and slapped her.

Lu Sheng was used to being scolded by her, after this slap, apart from the pain, he didn't feel much discomfort.Even, being beaten seems to be slightly better than being scolded...

Then mother was so angry that she went out to play, and Lu Sheng sat at the table in a daze.

The window was open, and the breeze blew through, bringing in the voices of the neighbors, floating and inaudible, like the whispers of ghosts in the silent night.

Suddenly, one of them raised his voice, with impatience and anger in his voice: "Lu Sheng is an idiot, she went to study physical education because she was useless in school! She has no brains and no way out. She can only become an athlete. You are different !Learn tennis, imitate your paralysis! You study hard for me, if you dare to fail this semester, I will break your leg!"

Lu Sheng thought to himself, it seems that her reputation as "stupid" has spread far and wide.

When Nanfeng returned home, the meal had just been set up.Aunt Lu was wearing an apron, and she circled around his father Nan Zhengming courteously, leaving his younger sister Nan Ge aside. Nan Ge knocked on the bowl anxiously, "Mom, serve me some food."

Aunt Lu was not a nanny, but Nan Ge's mother, Nan Feng's stepmother, and Nan Zhengming's second wife.

She is 31 years old this year. She is a graceful and charming woman, and she has a very good relationship with Nan Zhengming.

As soon as Nanfeng entered the door, he saw such a picture of a happy family of three.Aunt Lu and Nan Zhengming were busy showing their affection, so they didn't notice him, but Nan Ge discovered him first, "Brother!"

Nanfeng nodded to Nange.

When Aunt Lu saw Nanfeng, a smile immediately appeared on her face, "Xiaofeng is back? Have you eaten yet? I'll go get some extra bowls and chopsticks. This kid won't say a word when he comes back."

One sentence is light and clever, bringing the south wind into a little life.

Nan Feng ignored her thoughts, and just said, "Don't bother, I've eaten outside."

Aunt Lu said, "Then you have a bowl of soup."

Nan Zhengming nodded with a smile, "Drink some soup. The nanny is not here today, and your Aunt Lu will cook in person. Try this bamboo fungus and chicken soup, it's absolutely delicious."

Aunt Lu smiled a little embarrassedly, "Brother Ming, don't praise me, let Xiaofeng make fun of me." She looked at Nan Zhengming shyly, but she was not shy, she was gentle and gentle, and she handled it just right.

Nan Zhengming glared on purpose, and said with an attitude of absolute defense, "He dares!"

Nanfeng couldn't stand it any longer.He had no choice but to sit at the table, "Aunt Lu, please get me a bowl, I'll try your soup."

Nan Ge moved the heavy huanghuali solid wood chair, and held the rice bowl to Nan Feng's side, "Brother, where have you been today?" She poked the food in the bowl with her chopsticks as she spoke.

Nan Ge is already 11 years old, and there are a lot of small movements when eating, without rules and distances, Nan Feng looks down on him a bit.If Nan Feng had done this when he was a child, Nan Zhengming would have beaten him out long ago, but Nan Ge was Nan Zhengming's favorite, so he couldn't bear to scold him, and if he refused to listen to him a few times, it was up to her.

Nanfeng answered her with only two words: "Go to school."

"Where do you go to school?"

"N is big."

Nan Ge said with a smile, "I will also go to N University in the future."

Aunt Lu filled a bowl of soup and handed it to Nan Feng, and said with a smile, "Look, you haven't been back for a few days, Nan Ge misses you so much."

Nan Feng glanced at Nan Ge casually.Nan Ge has handsome eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a slightly broad face, and his facial features are very similar to Nan Zhengming.Back then, Nan Zhengming didn't need to do a paternity test at all, and brought their mother and daughter back directly.

At that time, Nan Ge was already five years old, she had bad habits all over her body, she had a big temper, was sensitive and selfish, and she didn't know how being a mother taught her, probably she spent her whole life trying to please men.

It was also from that year that Nanfeng was immersed in the world of tennis and could not extricate himself, and since then he has gone further and further.

Nanfeng took a sip of the soup and put down the bowl.Nan Zhengming and his wife are attacking Nan Ge collectively because she cut other people's skirts this afternoon.

Nan Ge pouted and said, "I'll just cut it, whoever told her to wear the same clothes as me, I don't like people wearing the same clothes as me!"

Nan Zhengming was a little helpless, "Okay, okay, I will buy you something different in the future. But you can't be so domineering anymore."

Aunt Lu said, "Brother Ming, you are too spoiled for her."

Nan Zhengming laughed and said, "My Nan Zhengming's daughter, it's okay to be arrogant."

Nanfeng frowned slightly when he heard this.Looking at Nan Ge's Chanel children's clothes, he inexplicably thought of Lu Sheng, that little girl who couldn't even afford a brand new school uniform.

Nan Ge sat next to his brother, seeing that his brother had been ignoring her, he suddenly said, "Brother, I'm learning how to play cross ball recently, can you teach me?"

"Through the ball" is a tennis game technique, which is good for viewing and practicality, and it is a way of playing against the opponent when the opponent attacks, which is very enjoyable to play.

Nan Feng really looked at her straight in the eye.

Nan Ge was a little happy, and was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by her mother.Aunt Lu: "Xiaoge, eat well...how did I tell you?"

Nan Ge pouted.My mother did tell me not to play tennis in front of my brother.

Nan Ge practiced tennis very early, Nan Feng knew about it.But he didn't care too much—he really didn't care about his father's mistress and illegitimate daughter.

He didn't like creatures like "sister" very much either.

If you must have a younger sister... Lu Sheng is not bad.
