◎Back from the brink. ◎

The setting sun passed through the gap between the trees, passed through the car window, and sprinkled on their faces.

The shadows of the trees swayed, and Chen Zui's heart floated up and down with the sunshine.

It was a brief kiss.

A numb feeling quickly spread from the corners of her lips to her brain, paralyzing her nerves.

A few days ago, she thought she had drawn a clear line, but now, Liang Yuwei came to blur the line with her own hands.

Chen Zui blinked, looking clumsy and slow due to his inexperience.

She had never imagined or imagined that her first kiss would take place under such circumstances.

She didn't know what expression to make, but at that moment, that kiss really gave her illusory happiness, and her heart began to collapse in large areas.

She fell in love with him, but she knew that no one would really fall in love with her. She had never been in an intimate relationship, so this sudden kiss made her panic.

She couldn't see through Liang Yuwei's heart, and subconsciously told herself not to indulge her feelings.

He could give her a necklace, and then show his familiarity and tacit understanding with Song Shiwei while she was sitting in the passenger seat. He could take her in when she was homeless and would also receive news from Song Shiwei late at night. He would complain to his good buddies in the company's tea room that Song Shiwei was not interested in him, then turn around and kiss her again.

She reined in the precipice a second before she fell.

The next second, she pushed him away.

In Liang Yuwei's confused and disappointed expression, she put on a distant face: "I think you may have misunderstood. I don't want to get an answer."

Liang Yuwei's cell phone rang at an inappropriate time. Vibrating harshly.

He pressed the hang up button, and a few seconds later, it started vibrating again.

"Take it, there may be something important." Chen Zui said.

Liang Yuwei glanced at her and answered the phone. His mother, Lin Han, asked him to go home.

Lin Han kept chattering, but he didn't listen to anything. When he was irritated, he saw Chen Zui mouthing silently: "I'm leaving first."

He tried to hold her, but she slipped away nimbly like a fish.

In the rearview mirror, her figure stayed for a moment, as if thinking about something, then she quickened her pace and disappeared around the corner.

After Chen Zui walked a few steps, he realized that his heartbeat was like beating a drum, almost jumping out of his throat.

There will be intersections at work in the future, and she doesn't know how to face Liang Yuwei then.

After thinking for a moment, but with no solution, she simply threw the scene out of her mind.

Awkward? That was also a few months later.

-

When Chen Zui arrived home, she saw Li Qingyun sending a message asking her if her foot injury was healed.

In a moment of vulnerability, she called back.

"I just saw the message you sent. My foot is almost healed."

"Oh, it's not serious." Li Qingyun's tone was reproachful.

"My foot is sprained, not broken." Chen Zui argued for himself, and then remembered that Li Qingyun had no time to take care of the child, so he asked, "Who took care of my brother in the end?"

Li Qingyun seemed to snort coldly. He made a sound and said: "Leave it with your aunt."

Chen Zui said "Oh".

After a moment of silence, Li Qingyun suddenly said: "It would be great if you could give half of your kindness to Xingxing to your brother."

Chen Zui frowned: "What do you mean?"

"I heard that you went to Xingxing School to cause trouble some time ago. "I don't see that you have a bad temper."

"Mom, you don't know what's going on with Xingxing."

There was no sound from the other end of the phone.

She continued: "It's pointless to worry about this."

Li Qingyun is the best at evading and changing the subject. She heard Chen Zui's displeasure and knew that she was in the wrong, so she brought up another matter: "By the way, your aunt's colleague has a My son is about the same age as you, and about the same height as you. His eyes are a little squinty, but surgery can correct it. I have seen photos. He looks quite upright, and his family conditions are not bad. He has a RV..."

Chen Zui interrupted her. : "I don't want to go on a blind date."

Li Qingyun said "Oh" sluggishly, and continued to talk to himself: "Think about it before you think about it."

"Don't think about it, I don't want to go on a blind date."

"No, you can talk about it yourself A boyfriend? With those scars on your body, anyone would be frightened."

Chen Zi suppressed his anger: "Mom!"

"I'm telling the truth, this is what you are facing now, what else can you expect? The scar will disappear on its own?"

"I could have had surgery, why didn't you do it?"

"The surgery must be done without causing inflammation of the skin. What should I do if the burn area is so large and the inflammation occurs repeatedly? "Yes, there are pros and cons to skin grafting, and it may cause new scars." Li Qingyun said not very politely, "Besides, I also went to No. 1 Middle School and went to university. How many people came to study with more than 100,000 yuan." There is no way in the first middle school! Don't always act like we owe you."

Chen Zui said nothing.

She didn't know what to say.

Is it her ruined adolescence, or the home she was forced to lose before she was a teenager?

God knows how she came out of those days, but she was covered up in such an understatement. It was just a ticket to the No. 1 Middle School in the city. In their eyes, it was more important than her adolescence when she was bullied.

Her throat seemed to be swollen, and she suddenly felt pain.

She heard her emotionless voice say: "You don't owe me anything, and I don't owe you anything. Don't try to send your son to me again in the future, and let's stop contacting him."

Li Qingyun didn't listen to her. After that, he hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, she still shed tears uncontrollably.

She had just revealed her feelings to her friends and wanted to reconcile with the scars on her body, but she was slandered by her mother again.

She sat in the darkness and began to miss the warmth of Liang Yuwei's lips for no reason.

-Liang

Yuwei returned home, his parents were not there, only his brother and sister-in-law were at home.

The living room was filled with things. Liang Yucheng was sitting cross-legged on the carpet in the living room, wrapping wedding candy gift boxes. His sister-in-law Qi Shuyun set up an ironing board in the open space next to the dining room and was ironing her dress.

"Where are Mom and Dad? They asked me to come back, but I'm not here?"

"She just answered a phone call and went out."

He wandered around in his pocket and picked up a jar of hand cream on the coffee table. The hand cream had the word "happy" printed on it, as well as the initials of Liang Yucheng and Qi Shuyun.

Honey is just one item in the gift box. The whole gift box contains a small bottle of red wine, a small can of tea, a can of hand cream, an invitation card and wedding candy. Finally, tie a satin bow on the delicate box.

Liang Yucheng moved to the side, leaving a place for one person to sit: "Can you help me?"

Liang Yuwei sat down, glanced in front of his eyes, and asked: "Now wedding candy has to be so complicated?"

He glanced at the mountains of tea, red wine and hand cream. The cost of a gift box was really quite high.

"These are for colleagues and partners." Qi Shuyun told him, "There is another set for relatives and friends."

Liang Yuwei was officially recruited as a coolie, working on an assembly line, and placed corresponding items in each gift box.

Qi Shuyun was worried about the work of these two grown men and came over from time to time to check and remind them how to tie the bow.

Liang Yucheng patted Liang Yuwei on the shoulder: "Just think of it as practice in advance. You will have to experience this in the future."

Liang Yuwei remembered that he had just been rejected, and his smile was a little bitter: "Me? I don't have a single horoscope." "

Qi Shuyun raised his eyebrows: "Come on, you must have a lot of girlfriends, right?"

Liang Yu was stunned, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether she was talking about Zhou Mo or himself.

He pointed at himself and asked: "Me?"

Qi Shuyun nodded: "Yes, you must have been in love a lot."

Before Liang Yuwei could say anything, Liang Yucheng answered for him first: "This kid got it early. He was in high school." I already know how to give sleeves to girls."

Liang Yuwei didn't know that his brother knew about this, so he looked at Liang Yucheng: "How did you know?"

"I saw your shopping receipt, it's still pink." He answered calmly, "Have you sent it out?"

Liang Yuwei picked up the pile of things again and blocked out the sound.

Qi Shuyun's gossip was aroused, so he put down the clothes ironing machine, came over to sit with them, and asked, "Really?"

"I didn't know until I was in college that girls should apply sunscreen and wear sun-protective clothing when going out. Got it."

Qi Shuyun snorted: "How did you know about it in college? Which ex-girlfriend trained you?"

Liang Yucheng raised his chin at Liang Yuwei and said, "Why did he involve me again?"

Liang Yuwei said lazily. He lay down, as if he didn't want to continue this topic: "That's not what happened."

Qi Shuyun became interested. She had long been interested in Liang Yuwei's relationship status. They often didn't get together. Taking this opportunity, she Want to understand more thoroughly.

"He has many glorious deeds."

Qi Shuyun took two pillows, put one behind his waist and held the other in his arms, as if listening to a story.

"When he was in high school, he got into a fight over a girl and lost his place in the recommendation list."

"So cool?" Qi Shuyun's eyes lit up.

Liang Yucheng didn't understand: "Cool?"

"Xiao Wei is an upright person. There must be a reason for the fight."

Liang Yuwei smiled and said nothing.

"I once found a hand-painted necklace in his book." Liang Yucheng said with a smile, "This guy actually lied to me at that time, saying that he wanted to be a jewelry designer. Now that I think about it, which girl did he make it for? "Okay."

Liang Yuwei twitched his lips: "You believed it then."

Qi Shuyun laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.

The door lock turned and Lin Han came back.

Liang Yuwei looked at the door: "Mom, you're back."

Lin Han showed no expression and asked Liang Yuwei to come into the room.

Liang Yuwei didn't know what was going on, so he followed over and asked, "What's wrong? Who messed with you again?"

"Who else in this family can mess with me now?"

Liang Yuwei pretended to think for a moment: "My dad?"

Lin Han gritted his teeth and punched him on the shoulder.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lin Han sighed and sat on the end of the bed. "I asked Song Shiwei to come to my house for dinner a few days ago. Why didn't you come back? Are you just showing off to others so blatantly?"

"Why do you ask me to ignore her? Didn't you say that she was your guest?"

Lin Han was very angry: "You don't know the reason why I asked her to come?"

"I know." He massaged her shoulders and said, "She is beautiful and I am familiar with you. I understand that you are satisfied with her. But feelings are not something that can be put together by force."

Lin Han suddenly looked up at him: "Are you in love?"

Liang Yuwei shrugged and said, "No."

"You are not young now. I don't want to say it so harshly. If you don't want to talk to Song Shiwei, that's fine. You have someone you like. That's fine too. , but just one request, don’t bring anything to your home, okay?”

“

What do you mean?” No."

Liang Yuwei took a step back: "Who do you think I am?"

"I haven't told your father about this yet. If he finds out, you should know the consequences."

"No." Feeling irritable, he brushed his hair and said, "Where did you hear something again?"

"It would be better if you heard it. Your sister-in-law saw you bringing the girl home! Do you still want to say something?"

Liang Yuwei He glanced toward the door.

No wonder Qi Shuyun said just now that he has many girlfriends.

He chuckled nonchalantly and said frankly: "What you see may not be the truth."

"Look for someone who is well-matched, at least like your brother. The kind who has a bad reputation and complicated family relationships. Let's break it off as soon as possible." "Okay."

Liang Yuwei's voice suddenly changed: "Did you check her?"

Lin Han stared at him and said in a deep voice, "You still say it's not true?"
