“Knock, knock, knock.”
Yu Xinghe leaned against the wall and knocked on the security door next door with his fingers bent.
Their two families lived on the top floor, the sixth floor. There were no elevators below the sixth floor in the old residential building in the community, so when she leaned against the wall next to the door, she could hear the neighbors downstairs opening and closing doors and walking and talking on the stairs.
This is a warm feeling.
On the white walls, there are still graffiti drawn by her, Zhou Jingyan and Yu Xinghai when they were children.
As time goes by, it is no longer possible to tell what was originally drawn. The colored crayons leave behind irregular lines, some dark, some light, childish and cute.
I knocked on the door for a while, but no one answered.
Yu Xinghe frowned slightly.
Could he have fainted from his sleep?
When she returned to her room at home, she picked up the phone that she had casually thrown on the bed. He had not replied to the message she had sent half an hour ago.
The last message he sent to me was around midnight yesterday.
Zhou Jingyan said he seemed to have a fever and his whole body was hot and uncomfortable.
And I reminded him to take antipyretics.
Antipyretics.
Oops.
Did he fall asleep without taking the medicine?
Her eyebrows were twisted together, and her eyes were wavering, with a flickering light in them, like a candle swaying in the wind.
He might be in danger home alone.
Yu Xinghe picked up his coat and ran to the door opposite.
Zhou Jingyan's parents are on business trips all year round and come back only a few times a year. Sometimes they may not even come back to be with him during the holidays.
Originally, his family had two nannies to take care of his daily life, one was responsible for cooking and the other was responsible for cleaning.
Later, Zhou Jingyan went to junior high school and was able to take care of himself independently. In addition, he felt embarrassed to face two aunts alone, so he asked his parents to dismiss the two aunts and started living alone early.
From childhood to adulthood, in the more than ten years that they have known each other, most of the time, it was Yu Xinghe's family who helped take care of Zhou Jingyan who lived across the street.
To be precise, Yu Xinghe was particularly passionate about raising children during that period.
While taking care of the little baby brother, she also raised the little baby Zhou Jingyan.
Although Zhou Jingyan was only one year younger than her, he was delicate and weak when he was a child, as fragrant and soft as a little girl. He was also much thinner than her and looked not much older than Yu Xinghai.
Such a soft, cute and sweet little baby is most likely to arouse the desire to protect Yu Xinghe, the king of children.
One more isn't too much.
Even though she almost forgot, she was still a child at that time.
To some extent, Zhou Jingyan's independent character and pride are really similar to Yu Xinghe.
It may be the result of gradual accumulation and subtle influence.
Yu's father and mother, who favor boys over girls, would smile from ear to ear when they mentioned Zhou Jingyan.
As for why Yu’s father and mother would be so enthusiastic in taking care of a child who is not their own?
It was probably because Zhou Jingyan was a boy, plus he received a generous salary from his parents.
The neighbors downstairs sometimes jokingly say that Zhou Jingyan should change his name to Yu Jingyan, and the naughty kids in the community will also shout "Yu Jingyan" loudly when passing by.
This often makes Zhou Jingyan blush.
Then she hid behind Yu Xinghe coquettishly, holding on to the belt of her skirt tightly.
Every other day, Yu Xinghe would "educate" all the naughty kids who made fun of him.
Over time, the voices in the community saying that Zhou Jingyan was a sissy gradually turned into saying that he would "marry" the tomboy Yu Xinghe when he grew up.
The two people involved just laughed it off.
When he was a child, Yu Xinghe even suspected that he was abandoned by his parents, with no love from his father and no care from his mother, just like her.
She scared him by saying that his parents didn't want him anymore. The little boy burst into tears, so heartbreaking that she couldn't bear it.
She thought he was crying because he was afraid that his parents didn't want him, and only found out after comforting him for a long time.
He cried because he was afraid that she would abandon him too.
also.
This shows that in his heart, parents may just be philosophical terms, a nominal title.
Standing at the door of Zhou Jingyan's house again, Yu Xinghe was about to enter the password as if he was familiar with the place.
His house has a password lock and a fingerprint lock. She has the password and the fingerprint.
Pressing her hand on the "#" key, she suddenly hesitated.
She had never been to his house so openly before!
Although he is most likely the only one at home.
Usually, as soon as she knocked on the door, it was opened instantly, and he was standing at the door, as if he had been waiting for her.
Better give them a call and ask first.
Yu Xinghe took out his cell phone and dialed.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later..."
I called several times but no one answered. Then it just became a busy tone. It must be that the phone was out of battery and turned off.
Yu Xinghe pressed the "#" key.
With a beep, the door opened.
"Jing Yan?"
Yu Xinghe poked his head in and called softly, "I'm coming in."
To the right, there is no one in the living room, and to the left, there is no one in the kitchen.
The shoes he wore last night were lying on the doormat at the door. There was a lot of mud on the white canvas, and it was still wet.
Yu Xinghe closed the door, picked up her shoes and put them away, changed into slippers and walked towards Zhou Jingyan's closed bedroom door.
Come to think of it, it seemed like she hadn't been to his house for a long, long time.
The quiet environment made her feel a little uneasy.
Normally, the most she would do was stand at his door and talk to him for a few words. When he asked if she wanted to come in and sit down, she refused many times on the grounds that she had to go home to do her homework.
The spacious and bright living room is filled with sunlight, and the clean wood-grain floor looks like it has been waxed not long ago, shining brightly.
There are many green plants on the balcony, stretching their limbs in the sun, which makes her relax as well.
Many of the furniture in his house are made of antique pear wood, which is retro and expensive.
There was a painting hanging on his bedroom door.
It is not a masterpiece by a master, but rather crooked, as if written by a child who has just learned calligraphy.
Yu Xinghe subconsciously looked at the signature where it was written.
The three characters "Yu Xinghe" were also crooked, and even the size and thickness were different.
"..." Could this be written by her?!
Why doesn't she have any impression at all?!
Besides, why would she hang such ugly handwriting here?
If his classmates or friends came to visit and saw this calligraphy, wouldn't they mistakenly think that Yu Xinghe's handwriting was ugly?!
Her handwriting is very beautiful now!
When she was embarrassedly thinking about whether to take down the calligraphy and painting and take it back to destroy the evidence, a "clang" sound came from Zhou Jingyan's room.
It sounded like something falling to the ground.
Yu Xinghe quickly opened the door and walked in.
