During the most difficult time, mother and son were kicked out because they could not pay the rent and had to sleep under an overpass for more than a month.
Zhou Jimo was already ten years old at that time.
The environment under the overpass is complicated, there are many homeless people, and Zhou’s mother is good-looking.
In order to protect his mother from being bullied, little Zhou Jimo learned to use fists to defend their safety.
If you can't hit it, bite it until you die.
Many times I was beaten black and blue by homeless people or drunkards.
Not only did they have to change places frequently, but they also had to endure hunger and cold.
Many times, Zhou's mother always cried secretly after he fell asleep.
Zhou Jimo saw all this.
The young man could only protect himself with cold armor.
Because he still has his mother behind him.
Only if you are strong enough can you not be bullied.
So when the holidays come, he will do casual work to relieve Zhou's mother's burden.
Because of the difficult situation, Zhou Jimo even entered school a year late.
But fate is so cruel.
In the second semester of Zhou Jimo's senior year of high school, Zhou's mother was diagnosed with early-stage gastric cancer.
Because of this incident, Zhou Jimo failed the college entrance examination.
Also for medical expenses, Zhou Jimo finally went astray.
Thinking of this, Gu Ruojiao pursed her lips.
The next day.
Gu Ruojiao, who was full, moved to Zhou Jimo, who had finished eating early and was resting with his eyes closed.
"Zhou has been silent."
"Um?"
"Actually, I saw my aunt rubbing her belly several times to see if she was feeling unwell."
Zhou Jimo opened his eyes.
"when?"
"I don't remember, but it happened many times."
Zhou Jimo frowned deeply.
Gu Ruojiao reminded her and stopped talking.
A few days later, I heard that Zhou’s mother was going to the hospital for a check-up.
Painless gastroscopy requires anesthesia, so a family member must accompany you.
But because Zhou Jimo had to go to school on weekdays, Gu’s mother accompanied him.
However, during lunch, it was obvious that Zhou Jimo had been absent-minded.
When school was over, Zhou Jimo did not stay to study papers, but left early.
night.
Gu Ruojiao was brushing papers when her cell phone suddenly rang.
It's a series of unfamiliar numbers.
Gu Ruojiao picked up, but there was no sound for a long time.
All I could hear was the continuous flow of traffic and the rustle of the wind.
Gu Ruojiao glanced at the time.
Speak slowly.
"Zhou has been silent."
"Um."
"Where are you?"
What responded to her was still the sound of traffic and wind.
It's like trying to cover up everything with noise.
Gu Ruojiao pursed her lips.
"Zhou has been silent."
"Um."
"I want to see you."
It took a long time before the boy's voice came.
"good."
*
It's around 9 o'clock in the evening.
Gu Ruojiao came to the park outside the community.
Soon, Zhou Jiemo came over.
He was wearing a black short-sleeved pullover and black sports pants, and his whole person was almost hidden in the darkness.
From a distance, I saw the small toffee on the bench under the street lamp.
She was wearing bright yellow short-sleeves and loose light pink shorts, with her slender legs crossed and straightened.
My fingers are fighting out of boredom.
The light fell right on her, the only light in the darkness.
He wanted to seize this light.
All the surrounding scenery disappeared from Zhou Jimo's eyes.
At this moment, he could only see her.
Zhou Jimo stood there without moving.
But Little Toffee discovered him first.
She stood up from the stool and ran towards him.
"Zhou Jimo!"
Zhou Jimo's heart was slightly touched.
He watched her run up to him, raising her little face worriedly.
"Zhou has been silent."
Called him in a soft voice.
Zhou Jimo suddenly felt very tired.
He took a step forward and pulled her into his arms.
"Zhou Jimo...?"
"Let me hold you for a while...just for a while, okay?"
