Since the phone call that night, in the next week or so, the communication between He Chen and Shen Lan gradually increased.

Although Shen Lan still insisted on refusing to admit that he was asking a question, and maintained an attitude of confrontation with He Chen on weekdays, Song Mian, who had a top-notch ability to observe facial expressions, still discovered the unusualness hidden in it.

"Hey, Brother Shen," Song Mian, who had just finished class, took advantage of He Chen being called to the office, and sneaked up in front of Shen Lan, his eyes full of gossip, "What's your relationship with He Chen recently?"Seems to be getting better?"

"Look, you don't eat supper now, you haven't skateboarded for a few days, and you even start to learn English seriously."

"If this scene was put before, then I wouldn't believe it even if I was killed."

"Are you blind?" Shen Lan put down her pen, and gave Song Mian a slight sideways glance, "That He Chen is a very scheming dog, and he and I are absolutely incompatible."

"Learning English is at Sister Ting's request. If Sister Ting hadn't insisted on letting him be my partner, I would have kicked him eight meters away!"

Shen Lan's words are full of momentum. If it were someone else, they might believe his words, but Song Mian and him have known each other since elementary school. After so many years, they have already figured out Shen Lan's stubborn temper.

He nodded meaningfully, although his heart was like a mirror, but he didn't show it on his face, but followed Shen Lan's words.

"Brother Shen is right!"

"Stop flattering!"

Shen Lan frowned and kicked him, while Song Mian hid away cheerfully.

"Hey, let me tell you something serious," Shen Lan waved to Song Mian, "Tomorrow is a holiday on Saturday, please help me ask Aunt Zhang if I can let Miaomiao stay at your house for a day."

"It's definitely fine," Song Mian replied without hesitation, "My mother absolutely agrees."

"It's not that you don't know. She has always liked Miaomiao very much. If she can take Miaomiao for a day, she will be too happy."

"Okay, thank you then."

"Ham, Brother Shen, there's no need to talk about this between us, but tomorrow is September 13th, don't you still plan to take Miaomiao with you?"

"No," Shen Lan shook her head lightly, her slightly drooping eyes suppressed the emotions in her eyes, "She's still young, let's talk about it later."

"Okay, then call me if you have anything to do." Song Mian quickly glanced at the physics teacher who had just entered the classroom, "Class is about to start, I'll go back first!"

Before he finished speaking, he rushed back to his seat, quickly flipped out the physics textbook, and began to pray that the teacher would not catch him when he asked questions in this class.

The North City No. 1 Middle School had a two-week holiday. The students who had been suppressed for half a month finally had a chance to breathe. As soon as they left the school, they quickly changed out of their ugly school uniforms, forming pairs in twos and threesLet yourself go.

However, Shen Lan, who has always been the most playful, rejected all the invitations of his friends. Early the next morning, he got up early uncharacteristically, took out a formal shirt and trousers from the closet, and lost his usual idleness.The top button is buttoned tightly.

The white lilies on the coffee table fluttered gently under the breeze. Shen Lan stood beside the sofa and put on a black watch. Just when he was about to bend down to get the flowers, the phone rang suddenly.

"Hey, Dad." When Shen Lan saw the caller ID, Shen Lan's eyes brightened instantly, and even the tone of his speech concealed a little expectation, "You called today, didn't you..."

"How's your grades going?"

"What?" The expression on Shen Lan's face suddenly froze, "Score?"

"Why, how long has it been since your grades dropped again?" At this point, the other end of the phone was already a bit stern, "I drink and socialize every day to make money outside, and that's how you repay me?!"

"Grade, grade, do you only see grades in your eyes?!"

Shen Lan sneered, and her eyes turned red: "Do you still remember what day it is?"

"It's against you, how dare you talk to me like that!"

"I don't care what your day is today! Why, you're short of money again? Let me tell you, with your attitude today, I won't give you a penny!"

"You are simply unreasonable!"

"Qianqianqian, what else can you remember now besides these! Do you still remember what I look like and what this family looks like?!"

The phone was hung up with a snap, and Shen Lan angrily threw the phone on the sofa. It took a long time for her strong emotions to calm down.

He turned his head to look at the lily, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, but a touch of sadness floated in his eyes.

"It seems that this year, I will visit you alone again..."

The taxi passed through the bustling city center and gradually headed towards the suburbs. The green mountains were surrounded by the sound of gurgling water, and the light mist added a layer of haze.

Shen Lan got out of the car with the bouquet, stepped on the gravel road according to her memory, and came to the familiar tombstone accurately.

"Grandma, here I come."

He bent down to put the lily down, and at the same time reached out and gently wiped the dust off the stele with his fingertips.

"Ham, this year I came to see you alone," Shen Lan smiled bitterly, "You won't blame me, will you?"

"Miaomiao just got into a fight with someone a while ago, but it wasn't bullying, but to act bravely. Although she was punished a little, it was nothing serious anyway."

"My parents...heh," Shen Lan rubbed the corners of her eyes, raised her head to suppress the moisture in her eyes, "My parents are still the same, they don't see each other a few times throughout the year, sometimes ten and a half daysI can't contact anyone for a month."

"But don't worry, I'm used to it, besides, Miaomiao is with me, I won't be alone."

"Besides, I'm already a sophomore in high school this year, and my studies have increased a lot. I don't have time to worry about spring and autumn."

"Let me tell you, a very special person has been transferred to our class this semester. That kid punched me in the face the first time we met! But my lord has a lot, and I have forgiven him.Now we are at the same table, although he is still not pleasing to the eye, but I have to admit that he does have some strength."

"Grandma, you see that I have talked so much with you without knowing it, I hope you don't find me annoying, after all these years, I can only talk to you when I face you..."

"Okay, it's getting late now, so I'll go first," Shen Lan sighed, stood up and clapped her hands, "I'll come to see you another day."

At some point, the sky was covered with layers of dark clouds, which completely hid the genial sunlight.

Shen Lan took out her umbrella and opened it, turned around and walked down the gravel road, when she was about to turn a corner, a familiar figure in the distance suddenly attracted his attention, making his footstepsInvoluntarily stopped.

That is, He Chen?Why is he here?

In the hazy drizzle, He Chen stood silently in front of the tombstone, not even the raindrops moved him.

Shen Lan stood there holding an umbrella and changing the angle. Only then did the words on the tombstone clearly appear in front of his eyes.

Father He Zhilin

Mother Yao Jingjuan
