The young man's eyes were filled with a clear and bright smile that he couldn't hide.

It's not that Lin Jian didn't think there would be a time when he would meet up with his original family again.

Once when the age of young, only know that he was the family hard "stuffed" to the Shen family, so the child held a breath in his heart, always thinking that he must live well, study well, will one day revisit the old places, so that those who looked down on him and Lin Jianghe's "family people "Guilt and regret.

But as he grows older, his insight into the world and his mind become more and more mature, and when he looks back at the scene when he left home many years ago, he realizes one thing - even if Shen Ke hadn't been there back then, I'm afraid that his great aunt's family wouldn't have been kind to him, and even if no one had taken the blame for him, sooner or later he would have been kicked out of the house.

So gradually, initially young want to return to the home of the idea of a breath will no longer, for the past all kinds of, he no longer look back, no longer indulge, and then later, for the family, he even the thinnest of loathing no longer have, because any emotion is not worth it, he and they have long since become the same time and space of the two will not intersect the two parallel lines, can not find the intersection of the point of position, and he also only need to And he only need to be responsible for his own life afterward.

I didn't expect to see each other in the steeple.

He Zhou eyeballs a moment not instantly surveyed the person in front of him, look shocked to the extent that it is simply impossible to link this tall, thin and upright teenager and that year that silent milk ball like children, half a long time past, he slightly narrowed the corner of his eye, re-replaced that pair of diao pi lai bone of virtue, touched the packet of cigarettes from the trouser pockets, lit a stick, and said: "Yo, how did that sentence say it? This is ...... oh, where life does not meet, right."

The thin smoke was blown in front of him by the summer breeze, and Lin Jian looked at him with flat eyes, as if he were in a state of despondency.

"Fuck, you've been gone for so many years, but now you've really become the young master of a rich family? I didn't expect that family to treat you well."

Today we meet again is an accident, Lin Jian does not have the slightest idea of wanting to be associated with this person, and all kinds of past again, so he laughed and only said, "Wrong or not good, it is better than the year of the fence." Stopped for two seconds, and then said, "Today as never seen." After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Seeing him to go, He Zhou suddenly shouted, shaking the cell phone in his hand: "Why is it as if we have not seen, we are after all relatives ah, broken bones still have to be connected to the tendon, yes, leave a phone number, if the Shen family is not good to you or to you bombed out of the ...... you just find cousin, cousin manage you ah! I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to get out of this one.

The absurdity in Lin Jian's eyes was so substantial at the moment that it just felt ridiculous: "There's no need."

What he said when he was sent away by Lin Jiangyue has always been remembered to this day and will always count.

Gone, he won't come back.

"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute!" Seeing Lin Jian really want to go, He Zhou busily scurried over, a few steps in front of him, "The ruthless ah, at least when our family also raised you for a period of time, how, now rich and powerful, turn the other cheek? You old Lin family are all so do people ah!"

Lin Jian's lips hooked out a sarcastic arc: "What's your mom's last name, remember?"

"......" He Zhou froze for a few seconds, then waved his hand indifferently, exasperated, "Don't talk about that useless, the person is gone, what's wrong with the last name... ...You hurry, leave me a phone number!"

Lin Jian was stunned for a moment.

The person is no longer there? In terms of age, Lin Jiangyue is less than ten years older than Lin Jianghe, and is now in his early fifties, so how can ......

However, he was stunned for only a few seconds, after all, for that family, life and death, could not stir up the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

Lin Jian glanced at him lightly and lifted his foot to go around.

"Hey!" He Zhou even some stalker meaning, the diameter from behind to catch up: "What's going on ah you, leave a contact information is not what to do, do what ah, afraid to find you to borrow money ah?"

Lin Jian turned a deaf ear.

When He Zhou saw that he really didn't budge, he became furious and suddenly shouted, "Okay! Lin Jian, you're so fucking ungrateful, you've got guts! It's okay that you don't care about me, I'd like to ask the family surnamed Shen, how did they teach you all these years, raising a master who doesn't recognize his own family!"

Lin Jian's feet lurched and he stopped and turned around, "...... Who are you looking for?"

Now Lin Jian has than He Zhou high out of a head, teenage eyebrows and eyes stern cold, this time low convergence eyelids look at people's color is for no reason to let a person chills, He Zhou involuntarily trembled a bit, but still boldly yelled: "looking for the family surnamed Shen ah! In the beginning only left so little money for our family, enough to do what ah, not to mention that we gave their family took a life, but also gave them a child ...... now fucking sell children are not this market price it!"

He Zhou stared poorly at Lin Jian, but his slightly trembling lips still betrayed his colorfulness at that moment, but his natural gambler's mentality, the internet gambling that he couldn't stop, the loan shark that he couldn't hide from, and the poverty, chaos, and despondency that he was currently experiencing made it impossible for him not to take advantage of such an opportunity that had fallen out of the sky.

"Why, you still don't believe me!" He Zhou crossed his arms and pointed at Lin Jian with one hand. He Zhou crossed his arms and pointed at Lin Jian with one hand, "I remember when that family left a phone number for my mom, and we haven't even looked for them in all these years, so do you really think that the child was given to them for nothing? No way! It's not such a good thing!"

In fact, how the Shen family dealt with Lin Jiangyue and his wife, Lin Jian is not very clear, after all, he was too young at that time, and by Lin Jianghe's sudden death hit the dizzy head, only know that the Shen family came to the people, Lin Jiangyue said whatever to send themselves out. In addition, he only vaguely remembers one thing, in that year in the outside of the funeral parlor, Shen Ke seems to really give them a sum of money, but as for the phone call, he does not have the slightest impression.

Now see He Zhou's embarrassment and downtrodden, obviously, when the money has been squandered, in addition to the more difficult is ...... He Zhou seems to have a comeback, once again rely on the Shen family intention.

It's not seems, it just is.

Lin Jian was even able to guess what it would be like if he really contacted the Shen family afterward.

The threat of being extremely evil and poor will not be, because he does not dare to, but the lowly selling of misery and pretending to be pitiful, is ten times ten possible, and Shen Ke will definitely give him favors again for his own sake, either in pity or indifferently.

However, the material suffering does not know enough, get the long and look for Shu, this kind of thing, one will have two, and then two will have three.

And Lin Jian would not allow Shen Ke to even meet with such a person, let alone letting him surround himself with such a person.

So in this brief flash of lightning, Lin Jian made a quick decision.

He swept a glance at He Zhou, took out his cell phone, and said in a faint voice, "Say the number."

He Zhou froze, and then grinned: "This is right, how to say that I am also your cousin, can not harm you ...... you call me over ah, I also have to save your number!" He Zhou reported his own cell phone number, eyelids unblinking staring at Lin Jian lose number, until the eleven numbers complete by Lin Jian into the address book, press dial, his own cell phone ringtone suddenly rang, only a few unaccountable long breath.

"Hey right ......" He Zhou lowered his head, saving Lin Jian's phone number while pretending to ask carelessly, "So what exactly does the Shen family do, that . . how rich can it be?"

Lin Jian slightly frowned, the dislike in his eyes flashed, then was very subtle convergence, followed by a light voice: "Do something small business it, the conditions can be, the specific kind of I'm not clear, after all,......" he deliberately paused, hooked the corner of his mouth, and said, "I am not a child of their family, this kind of thing, people will not let me know so clearly."

"Oh ...... " He Zhou nodded thoughtfully, and then changed his face, smilingly climbed with Lin Jian: "You see just happy, have not yet asked, why did you come here? "

Lin Jian said, "The intensive study is here."

"Oh, you've got a lot of talent, brother!" He Zhou smiled exaggeratedly, "You're the only capable one in our family, don't forget your brother when you're well off in the future!"

Lin Jian smiled slightly and said, "No, didn't you say, we ...... break bones and connect tendons."

"Hey, yeah! That's what I like to hear!" He Zhou was delighted by Lin Jian's two simple words, and then made a series of acidic remarks such as "blood relatives are always blood relatives".

It was only when the workers came over cursing, saying that the foreman was looking for someone, that He Zhou said "I'll be in touch" and left.

Lin Jian stood on the concrete floor of the outdoor basketball court and didn't move until He Zhou's back disappeared into the fence on the other side of the construction site, then he relaxed his shoulders a little and exhaled deeply.

He swallowed raw the immense nausea that was churning in the back of his mind and went straight back to his apartment room and re-showered.

And the T-shirt he was wearing when he was just hit by He Zhou was thrown right into the dumpster outside his apartment.

......

Since He Zhou's cell phone number, he added Lin Jian's WeChat, Lin Jian saw the verification message thought for a moment, fingertip point, through. In the past few days, He Zhou had called him a few times, but Lin Jian refused to pick up the phone because he was "in class". When the phone call was not working, He Zhou sent a WeChat message, which was just a few words, to get close to him, to show his concern, and to reveal his current miserable state of life in a sideways way.

Lin Jian accepted the offer in its entirety, not overly warm and familiar with the language, but also not cold and unapproachable, and occasionally, there will be a slight show of concern similar to that of a "cousin".

The tail end of July passed by in a flash during the closed training, the penultimate day before the end of the year, Lin Jian's sixteenth birthday.

As usual, he went to class, listened to lectures and took notes as usual, with no ripples in his heart, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

The last big class of the day focused on the analysis of the types of questions on the extra test, and at 7:30 p.m., when the special competition tutor finished his lecture, a whole staircase classroom of schoolboys packed up their notes as if they were relieved, and walked out of the building in pairs, skulking in the direction of their apartments.

A boy from the same dormitory came up from behind and asked Lin Jian if he wanted to go to a night game of basketball with him. Subconsciously, Lin Jian wanted to refuse, but after a pause, he actually agreed to do it for the first time.

Today was a special day, and rather than being left alone with his thoughts, he felt more suited to a good workout, preferably so exhausted that he could fall asleep in his room.

Cicadas chirping in the summer night, the lighting inside the basketball court shed a clear light on the concrete floor, Lin Jian this side of the three first middle school, and a few boys from the experimental middle school, three on three to play the full court.

After two quarters, the three schoolboys from Experimental High School were beaten into a bit of skepticism.

Halftime, a group of people sitting directly around the basket, a stout brother couldn't help but whisper to ask a middle school of a certain boy: "Hey buddy, ask you a thing ha, your school this God Lin ...... before is not a sports specialty student, right? Good guy, just now is simply oppressed me to play ah."

This buddy in the first high school looked at him rather breathlessly: "Brother, this God Lin in our school is sitting across from you at this moment, straight line distance is not more than one meter, I also want to ask you something ha, what is the reason why you can't ask him directly? Is it because you don't like it?"

The crowd bursts into laughter, and Lin Jian tilts his head back to pour down a few gulps of mineral water, casually rubbing the beads of sweat from the side of his face, the corners of his lips hooking slightly as he lowers his eyes.

"Wozhi ......" boys may feel that he asked this is indeed a little two wave, also followed the laugh, "misunderstanding misunderstanding, I am purely by the first high school bully tough ball style shocked, just now there are two ball hit I seem to directly see I'm too tits."

The summer breeze is cool, people are talking and laughing, Lin Jian is still the usual state of getting along with outsiders, with a little sense of detachment, although it will not be warmly active participation, but when talking about him never cold face do not answer.

After the break, the second half was about to start, and Lin Jian's cell phone suddenly vibrated.

His heart skipped a beat, only froze for half a second before pulling out his cell phone from his pocket, and when he saw the number He Zhou on the screen, all the tiny bits of anticipation and joy that had just filled the corners of his eyes went cold.

Lin Jian looked at the cell phone silently for a few seconds with a tense mouth, and then hung up directly without hesitation.

He wasn't in the mood for the uncomfortable pretense of "brotherly love" on a day like today.

His companion stood at the free throw line and called out to him, and he raised his hand to signal that he would come right over, but he didn't end up taking two steps before his cell phone vibrated once again.

It was almost as if he had touched the scales of his hidden one.

Lin Jian's expression was an annoyance rarely seen in everyday life, he once again took out his cell phone, thinking to simply turn it off, but when his line of sight landed on the name on the screen, his fingertips hanging above the screen abruptly stopped.

One second, two seconds ...... His drooping pupils slightly dilated, almost incredulously looking at the word "Shen Ke".

I can't believe ...... really ......

Just before the cell phone was about to hang up when no one answered, Lin Jian woke up as if from a dream and pressed the answer button.

"...... Hello?" He tried desperately to control his voice from trembling.

Shen Ke's light and slow voice flowed out from the earpiece position with a little bit of a smile, "God Xiao Lin, class is over?"

"Uh-huh." Lin Jian waved his hand at his classmates, signaling that he was answering the phone so they wouldn't have to wait, before walking around the perimeter of the basketball court with his cell phone held up, "Class is over, playing ball."

"Huh?" Shen Ke seemed a bit surprised, "What's the point of playing ball on your birthday when you're not celebrating with your friends?"

"......" Lin Jian a sentence "but" can reach the edge of the mouth to stop, take a deep breath and slowly spit out, before saying," ...... intended to go to dinner after playing soccer."

Eat shit.

On the other side of the phone, Shen Ke paused for a moment before his tone seemed to become a bit regretful and he smiled, "So, that doesn't happen."

Lin Jian very sensitively captured the brief interlude in his statement, coupled with the "unfortunate" sound that came along with it, which was similar to the sound of food street vendors. ......

Lin Jian knew the mood had jumped and he asked, "Where are you?"

"I'm at ......" Shen Ke said with a smile, "I think it's the north gate of the Teaching Research and Training Center? A snack street next to it is quite lively."

"......" Lin Jian had already run out of the room when Shen Ke said the words "Teaching and Research Training", the teenager broke into the night, his urgent voice being scattered by the night wind. The teenager broke into the night, his urgent voice blown away by the night wind, "Wait for me!"

It's not a short trip from the basketball court to the north gate, bypassing two school buildings and an auditorium, but it took Lin Jian less than a minute to reach the guardhouse at the north gate.

Standing still and slightly out of breath, Lin Jian's eyes balked at the electric door for a moment, and the first thing he saw was not Shen Ke's person, but his car parked in the parking space in front of the door, and in the next second, his eyes went back to see the man in black clothes and pants, standing in front of the guard room in a graceful manner, chatting with the security guards.

Outside the door street lights bright, along the street store signs neon flashes, he stood in the depths of the bright and dark intertwined streams of light, heard the footsteps slightly turned his head, first froze, and then his eyes appeared Lin Jian most familiar smile.

Soft and warm and heavy.

The moment the eyes met was like a freeze, and at that second, Lin Jian heard the voice of his heart--

Look, you're done.

Shen Ke watched as he stepped closer and closer to his body and asked through the motorized door, "How come so fast?"

"Ran here" was impossible to say, and Lin Jian pursed her lips and said, "Long legs."

Shen Ke laughed.

He looked at Lin Jian with some amusement and helplessness, and then said to the security guard who had just chatted, "Someone has come, are you tired to open the door?"

Lin Jian some surprises, after all, their intensive training requirements are fully closed, it should be reasonably impossible to let students go out in private, but I did not expect moncler outlet online said cheerfully, "They are not allowed to go out of school these days to study, for fear that the children out of any accidents, but since the parents came to see it, that's a different story ... ...Students, you give your lead teacher to make a phone call, read to him, and then let me pick up, your teacher knows you go out on the line."

Lin Jian nodded his head and took out his cell phone to call the teacher of the competition team, explaining the reason succinctly in a few words, and then handed the cell phone to the security guard, who opened the door to release the door after getting the teacher's accurate promise.

"Greet me when you come back at night!" moncler outlet store behind Lin Jian said with a smile, "I'll open the door for you!"

"OK, I'll just take him to dinner and send him back to you." Shen Ke replied for Lin Jian, "You have taken the trouble."

Lin Jian followed Shen Ke, always keeping a half-distance, and when he raised his eyes, he could see the curves of his mouth, gentle and calm. In the lights of the place, such a smile is really too people ironing comfort, Lin Jian suddenly hindsight to realize that, it seems that from the day of recognizing Shen Ke, this person is this kind of appearance so style, no matter who he faces, regardless of class identity, he is always gentle, gentle to ...... let a person can not help but to get close to.

As the two headed for the parking space under the wall outside the door, Lin Jian hesitated and said, somewhat knowingly, "What are you doing here?"

Shen Ke inclined his head to look at him and raised his eyebrows slightly in amusement, "Hmm? What am I here for ...... is that not obvious?"

Lin Jian knew it all too well, but he kept his mouth shut: "Come to celebrate my birthday? There is no one empty ......"

Before the word "hand" could be uttered, Shen Ke unlocked the door of the car and bent down to pull a cupcake out of the car refrigerator in the back.

"......" The dismay in Lin Jian's eyes at this moment was almost like substance.

That wasn't all, but Shen Ke carried the cake in one hand, rummaged through a few more in the back seat, and magically pulled out a not-so-small rectangular wooden gift box with the other hand.

Seeing Lin Jian froze there for a long time without making a move, his eyes seemed to be glued to his two hands and couldn't tear them off, Shen Ke couldn't help but lose his smile and called out to him, "Birthday boy, why don't you close the door of the car? I can't get my hands free."

"Oh." Lin Jian then returned to his senses and walked up to close the car door, and in the next second turned right back around, still staring at the thing in his hand, and asked, "What ...... is this?"

Shen Ke was teasing a child and simply passed both hands in front of him, "Which one are you asking?"

That's certainly not asking for cake.

Lin Jian tensed his lips and raised his chin at his right hand.

"This ah ......" Shen Ke shook the gift box in his hand at him and asked deliberately, "You said that when you usually give someone a birthday, what else would you take in addition to a birthday gift, or would you like to guess? "

Hearing the derision in his tone, Lin Jian blinked slowly for a moment before reaching out and taking whichever gift box he was holding from him.

Although very uninspired, but at this time the teenager's heart overturned, a thousand flavors choked in the throat, but also can only say to come up with a sentence: "Thank you."

"Well, I hear you, that one was sincere." Shen Ke purred a handful of the back of his head with the empty one, "Come on, let's find a place to take you to dinner."

Lin Jian pressed the arc of the mouth, and he walked a distance forward, along the street on both sides is a snack street, a variety of barbecue hot and spicy hot net red fast sales store lined up, this time is not late, is the most lively and noisy time period of the night market, the two walked a distance in the smoky air that came to the face, Shen Ke seems to be relatively new to this kind of place, the whole way to look at the signboards, as if it really wants to pick a satisfactory choice among the rows of "Boss Barbecue" and "Lao San Seafood". Shen Ke seemed to be new to this kind of place, looking at the signboards all the way, as if he was really trying to find a satisfactory choice among the rows of "Boss Barbecue" and "Lao San Seafood".

But in fact, after almost thirty years of living, this is the first time Shen Ke has been to such a place full of mundane smog, the first time he has experienced the feeling of being surrounded by layers of "big stalls", and it is Lin Jian's birthday, he was afraid that his "zero experience" would affect the final dining experience when he was faced with a bunch of "hot crawfish" and "Sichuan-style spicy pot", so he politely asked Lin Jian, "Do you have anything you want to eat? On Lin Jian's birthday, he was afraid that his "zero experience" with a bunch of "hot crawfish" and "Szechuan-style hot pot" would affect his final dining experience, so he politely asked Lin Jian, "Is there anything you want to eat? So I politely asked Lin Jian, "Is there anything you would like to eat?"

Lin Jian replied very dryly, "No."

"......" So Shen Ke changed the way he asked, "Didn't I say earlier that I was going to eat after playing soccer with my classmates, what are you guys going to eat?"

Lin Jian : "It was canceled before I could book it."

"......" Shen Ke There was no other way, turned his head to look at him rather helplessly, but his eyes stopped slightly in the next second.

Behind the young man holding the sandalwood gift box with one hand, standing in the endless flow of people, slightly tilted his head, looking at him in those eyes, all are fine, can not hide the clear bright smile.
