After getting off the bus, you still have to take a bus to get back to your residence.
Xing Chen was listless along the way. He took out his cell phone to report his safety to Nan Ke, only to find that Wang Xiaoyun had sent him a message ten minutes ago.
Ask him when he will be back.
After Xing Chen sent a message to Nan Ke to report his safety, he was no longer in the mood to type and directly called Wang Xiaoyun.
It turned out that Mogo had a fever and was getting an injection at the town hospital. Wang Xiaoyun said he really couldn't leave.
Mo Ge went to see the doctor alone. If they meet on time when he comes back, he hopes Xing Chen will accompany him, otherwise it sounds a bit miserable.
Xing Chen agreed and sent a message to Mogo, asking for his specific location.
Mogo's physique is not actually strong, but he has muscles. In addition, he is not short, so he looks quite imposing at first glance.
He has a rather childish temperament and always has a confused expression. Once you get to know him, you will realize that he is really easy to bully.
When Xing Chen arrived, Mogo was hunched over a chair in the county hospital receiving an IV drip.
A pitiful looking blob.
He only realized it when Xing Chen sat next to him.
"Senior? Actually, you can just go back and don't worry about me."
"This is the task your instructor assigned to me. I was also entrusted with it."
To put it bluntly, it's hard to refuse, otherwise Xing Chen wouldn't pay any attention to him.
But Mogo was not angry, instead he smiled.
"Even if he didn't tell you, as long as you knew it, I believe you would come."
Xing Chen is in a bad mood now, Nan Ke hasn't replied to his message yet.
His expression was a little cold, and he stared blankly at Mogo.
"Have I been too nice to you lately and given you some false impression? I'm not that selfless and kind person."
Mogo was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and asked him cautiously: "Senior, did you have a fight with Sister Nan Ke?"
Xing Chen pursed his lips: "No."
He didn't want others to see at a glance that Nan Ke was his minefield, so he warned himself not to lose his temper.
But it is true that hearing Mogo mention Nan Ke at this time makes me so damn angry!
But this kid is usually a very smart person, but at this time he seemed to be clueless and came up to ask him questions.
"Will Sister Nan Ke quarrel with you? She doesn't look like someone who would quarrel with others."
Nan Ke really doesn't argue with others very often. In her own words, she knows she can't win the argument, so she just keeps quiet.
She is used to sulking alone.
Don't like arguing, so it usually turns into cold violence.
It is precisely because of this that Xing Chen pays special attention to Nan Ke's emotional changes so that he can discover problems and correct them in time.
Xing Chen stared at Mo Ge for a while, trying to figure out if he did it on purpose.
It doesn't look like it.
He was just confused due to the fever, and his usually sharp perception was reduced.
"She has a good temper."
Mogo took it very seriously and nodded slightly: "I can see that."
Xing Chen told himself that he couldn't argue with a patient, but he couldn't help but ask subconsciously: "What else did you see?"
"You can tell...she's quite soft-hearted, right? She looks distant, but she's actually quite easy to talk to, isn't she?"
Xing Chen tilted his head to the side: "That's right."
At the same time, Xing Chen finally received Nan Ke's reply message, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.
When he looked up, he saw Mogo looking at him with curiosity.
I heard him ask, "How did you get together?"
Xing Chen hesitated, not knowing whether he should say it.
In fact, Nan Ke did not restrict who he needed to hide their relationship from.
Nan Ke would never say that she was single when she was working. Most of the time she just didn't say that she had a boyfriend.
If asked explicitly, she would tell the truth.
"she……"
As soon as he started, Xing Chen noticed that Mogo's eyes were becoming more and more curious.
And he was still hesitating.
At this time, Mogo seemed to have come to his senses, stepped back slightly and smiled.
"This involves privacy. If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to."
Xing Chen shook his head gently: "There's nothing I can't say, it's just that I've never told anyone before, so I don't know how to start, or where to begin."
Nan Ke is four years older than Xing Chen.
This has always been a hurdle in Xing Chen's heart, although Nan Ke has never expressed that she is opposed to relationships between older women and younger men.
But there were four years between them, like a huge chasm that could not be crossed.
The two met at each other's worst moments.
Xing Chen was fifteen years old at that time and was preparing for the high school entrance examination.
He grew up in the countryside with his grandparents, and his parents disappeared when he was in elementary school.
When grandma was still alive, she would always mention his disappointing parents.
Combined with Xing Chen's own memory, he can still remember some things about his parents.
My mother married into their family far away. My parents fell in love while working away from home, and got married after their feelings deepened. After they had Xing Chen, they always kept him by their side and doted on him.
When Xingchen was in elementary school, his father fell in love with another woman and almost emptied the family savings for her.
When his mother found out, she was furious. I remember that they were always arguing during that period.
And he would burst into tears whenever he heard them quarreling, but they hated each other and couldn't see him at all.
Dad seemed to have apologized, and Mom forgave him, but in fact, his heart had never returned home.
Things eventually reached a point of no return.
The family has no money left and can’t even pay his tuition.
It was my father who finally filed for divorce.
When Xing Chen grew up and thought back, he really couldn't understand why his mother was so unwilling to escape from that failed marriage.
Is it because of him? But she didn't take me in in the end.
The couple ended up having a terrible quarrel, and their relatives in particular kept talking about it.
His father took him back to his hometown and sent him to live with his grandparents.
Because studying there is cheap, and also because he doesn't want to take on the responsibility of taking care of children.
He said he still had to go out and make money, so his grandmother chased him and beat him with a broom.
Everyone knows that he can't let go of that wild woman outside.
Even after changing the place, Xing Chen was still listening to the quarrel.
Adults may think that children are too young to have any memories, but in fact Xing Chen still remembers those unbearable contents.
It turns out that the woman with my father is married.
I don’t know if they have any children, they don’t seem to have mentioned anything about them.
But Xing Chen always thought that if there was a child, the child's fate would definitely be better than his own, at least his parents didn't sound like they were divorced.
At least they hadn't divorced at that time.
The grandparents were old and could not control their son who had already married and had children. One ordinary morning, when everyone woke up, they found that Xing Chen's father was missing.
No information was left, nor was even a penny of money.
The good thing is that he is not so cruel as to take his parents' pocket money.
From that time on, Xing Chen vaguely knew that no one wanted him anymore.
He heard his grandmother and grandfather mumbling to each other while carrying him on their backs.
"...At least we can raise this child and leave him with descendants. We can't control anything else."
It's not that they haven't looked for his father. After calling the police, they were told that he hadn't committed any crime. If there was no news from him, his parents could sue him for not supporting their elderly parents.
Grandma couldn't bear it and thought this method sounded inappropriate.
Finally gave up.
Xing Chen also went from being uncomfortable and crying loudly at the beginning to gradually recognizing the reality before him and the life path that he could see the end of at a glance.
At first, he was uncooperative, cried at school, and was unwilling to make friends, causing the teacher to always talk to his grandparents.
When Xing Chen saw the old man's staggering steps, he seemed to feel a little bit of what his grandmother meant by "inappropriate".
It is not appropriate for him to make these two old people worry and work hard for him.
But it's really not easy for grandparents. Grandma's emotions reached a critical point and she began to complain about his mother in front of Xing Chen.
Call her "that woman".
"Why don't you study hard? Do you know what will happen if you don't study? Your father doesn't want you, that woman doesn't want you either, we're the only ones who want you. What do you think you'll get by crying and making a fuss? I'm telling you, you'll get nothing!"
Thinking about it now, Xing Chen can already understand what his grandmother wanted to express.
But he was still very young at the time, and he almost lost his mental balance and had an emotional breakdown.
Even at such a young age, I thought about dying and being done with it.
In comparison, grandpa treated him much better. Although he was not good at expressing it, Xing Chen could feel it.
When his grandfather sent him to school, he would buy him snacks in private and tell him not to let his grandmother know.
"She doesn't have bad intentions, she just doesn't know how to treat you well and still uses the old-fashioned methods to educate children."
Xing Chen remembered how he cried while eating snacks.
"Chenchen, you have to study hard and survive. People are born to live, but your situation is more difficult than others. If you really hate this place so much, study hard, get out, and don't come back."
Xing Chen listened carefully to his grandfather's words.
At first his grades were terrible and he always handed in blank papers in exams, but from some point on, he gradually became known as "that very competitive little boy" by others.
Xing Chen still hasn't made any friends, but he no longer isolates himself and is at least willing to talk to others.
When Xing Chen was in the fourth grade, he grew a little taller, but was still shorter than other boys in his class.
At that time, his grandmother had passed away for more than a year. His grandfather attended a parent-teacher meeting for him and bought him a box of milk on the way back.
Xing Chen knew their conditions and tried his best to persuade his grandfather not to buy that thing.
But grandpa insisted on buying it and paid for it with a firm attitude.
"You have to grow taller. Your teacher said that drinking milk will help you grow taller. Chenchen, you are good-looking, but if you don't grow taller, it will be difficult for you to find a good-looking wife in the future."
