Chapter 7 Sprouts
After the rainstorm stopped, the port resumed its former bustle, and Su Mei was woken up in her sleep.

She was lying on the balcony, and what woke her up was a group of people who suddenly rushed in from the yard of Lu Haiyang's house.That group of people are big-brained and fat, and they are thick-backed.

Do you want to act in a movie?Keen City is not a film and television city, what happened to those men?Su Mei restlessly lay on the balcony.

"Where's Lu Qingsong?"

Su Mei remembered that Lu Qingsong was Lu Haiyang's father's name.There were only his mother and the cat in the yard of Lu Haiyang's house, and his mother just shook her head dully.

"May I ask you something?" One of the fat men probably saw that Lu Haiyang's mother was mentally abnormal, and quickly grabbed her hair, "Are you pretending to be deaf and dumb or crazy?"

A group of men bullied a woman, across the high wall, Su Mei's anger was still uncontrollable: "What are you doing, so many big men bully a woman."

Those people looked up and were stunned. After a long time, someone said viciously: "What are you talking about, little girl? His family owes our boss money."

"I'll pay back his family's money." Su Mei blurted out.

"Little girl, don't be brave, do you know how much you owe? 10 yuan, do you have the money to pay it back?"

"I have money, you just wait."

She rushed into her room and took out her passbook, which was the annual lucky money. Ye Meixiang gave her half and saved the other half.She ran downstairs and rushed into the courtyard of Lu's house, proudly holding up her passbook: "Is this enough money?"

Those few people took the passbook, and the numbers on it made them smile: "That's enough, take us to get it."

Her family has never been short of money, and Su Yuanan would give her enough cash for food and clothing. Ye Meixiang helped her save the New Year's money just to let her have financial management concepts, so she never thought about asking for the password. She said blankly, "I don't know the password."

A tall man came over, his eyes were like ice cubes smeared thickly on his eyes, he grabbed her hand, there was only a cool sneer on his face: "Are you fooling us?"

"No." She really just didn't know the password, and her hand hurt from being caught, she said bitterly, "Any item in my house costs more than 10 yuan."

This sentence touched the tall man. He squinted his eyes and inspected the small western-style building next door and her clothes. He nodded and said to those people: "Take this little girl back first, maybe the money from this house is real. It's up to her to pay it back."

No matter how powerful she was, she was just a teenage girl. Seeing this posture, she became frightened, and immediately regretted it: "What are you doing, kidnapping is against the law."

If it is a high-quality person who understands the law, will he help others with debt collection?Those people ignored her, grabbed her hand and opened the dilapidated gate of Lu's house.

As soon as Su Mei opened the door, she saw Song Wenqi who was sitting on the car and peeping upstairs at her house. She almost shouted without thinking: "Song Wenqi, help me."

After being dazed for about ten seconds, Song Wenqi got out of the car and rushed towards her.With one against five, he was immediately thrown onto the road.After being beaten for no reason, he came to his senses and asked the other party: "Where did you come from as a robber, do you understand the law?"

"You kid, keep your mouth clean. It's only natural to pay back the debt."

"Oh, I need an account." Song Wenqi proudly took out his wallet and pulled out a stack of banknotes, "I only have so much on me. When you come to withdraw money tomorrow morning, remember to bring the IOU."

Those people didn't want to make a big deal at first. Seeing Song Wenqi's words, deeds and clothes, he looked like a child from a rich family. They collected the wad of money: "This is considered interest, and I will come back tomorrow to get the 10 yuan."

After the group of people left, Song Wenqi looked at Su Mei: "Are you okay?"

She wiped her eyes: "I'm fine, those people were just asking for money, they didn't do anything to me."

Seeing her bravado, Song Wenqi stood in front of her, tall and thin, with harsh words: "Do you know? You look smart, but you are actually an idiot. Those who collect money don't recognize people, how dare you Handle them alone."

She lowered her head, enduring Song Wenqi's anger.She didn't know if there were girls like her in this world, in the same time and space, in different places, who fell into the dust for the boys they liked.Whether she is brave or masochistic, only she knows, even if Lu Haiyang is seldom gentle to her.But his faint smile and the occasional eye contact were like a tsunami, sweeping away her reason.

Su Mei avoided the topic, pointed at Song Wenqi's nose: "What should I do, you have a nosebleed."

"fine."

"Does it hurt?"

"I broke my leg when I was playing football. What is this nosebleed?" Song Wenqi wiped off the nosebleed. His nose really didn't hurt, but why did he feel so uncomfortable in his heart? He couldn't hide his soreness.Mixed with stomach acid, it's like this bittersweet unrequited love.

When he grew up so big, he was not without sadness. He was sent to study abroad at the age of 13 because of his family relationship. When he was young, he stood at the airport in a foreign country, surrounded by incredible people and languages.The boys in the host family always bullied him when he was young and hid bird droppings in his shoes. He even cursed with nostalgia.Those were his saddest days.He thought that as he grew older, he would no longer have that kind of pitiful melancholy, but when he met Su Mei and saw her devotion to Lu Haiyang and her meaningless demands, the uncomfortable emotion still lingered in him. His rib cage was littered with corpses.

Song Wenqi felt empty in his heart: "I will send the money tomorrow."

"You won't tell others about the money, will you?" Su Mei asked.

Song Wenqi looked at her cautious look, showed a sad expression, and said his guess: "Is the money owed by the Lu family?

Su Mei nodded.

"How long are you going to help Lu Haiyang? He doesn't seem to appreciate your affection at all. Are you so interesting?"

Su Mei smiled self-mockingly. Arctic terns fly [-] miles from one end of the earth to the other. American salmon spend their entire lives swimming back to Alaska from the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Do you think they are interesting?Then, in order to like someone, she waits silently, why can't she?
The next day, Song Wenqi took the money to redeem the IOU for Lu Qingsong.Su Mei didn't tell anyone about the money, she just gave the IOU to Lu Qingsong.

Lu Qingsong's wrinkled face was full of smiles, because he was uneducated, he rubbed his hands to express his gratitude with all the words: "Thank you, Su Mei, thank you so much, if you don't come out, our family will have to come out again." Homeless."

"Don't tell Lu Haiyang."

"Is this kid still angry with you about the game? Don't blame him, this kid has been very angry since he was a child, and he will be fine after a while."

When Su Mei heard Lu Qingsong's words, her heart collapsed like an iceberg.She never blamed him, she was just afraid that he would not appreciate it, so all the efforts would be ruined.

"Why haven't you seen him these days?"

"He went to work in the city and played the piano in a restaurant." Lu Qingsong sighed, "I didn't get the scholarship and I was in debt, so he refused to study no matter what he said. He was stubborn since he was a child, and he decided I won't look back on the matter, if you meet him, help me persuade him."

Su Mei asked the address of the restaurant, it was a western restaurant.She chose a relatively remote corner to sit down.There is a piano in the western restaurant, and Lu Haiyang is playing "Serenade" with his eyes closed.

It was originally peaceful and comfortable, but there was a sudden noise. A middle-aged man held a red wine glass and ran to Lu Haiyang: "What are you playing?"

"Mozart."

The man raised the money in his hand: "I want to listen to Legend of the Phoenix, what Mozart, who the hell knows who he is?"

Lu Haiyang, a sentimental and aloof guy, blinked and said, "This is a western restaurant, I can't play such vulgar songs."

"I want to listen to "Above the Moon" today." The man yelled wantonly in the western restaurant holding a glass of red wine.

Lu Haiyang sat quietly, refusing to play anyway.

"Call your boss out," the man shouted.

The chubby owner of the restaurant came out of the lounge, bowed and smiled.

"What kind of restaurant are you guys here? I want to hear why the Legend of Phoenix can't be played?"

"Lu Haiyang, you can't play anything, you can play whatever you want to hear when the guest gives you money."

The man found the steps, and arrogantly threw the wad of money in his face: "You have to understand, this is not a mansion of a wealthy family, and you are not the young master of the Hou family. legend."

Su Mei, who was secretly watching from the corner, couldn't hold back any longer, ran over, picked up her bag and slammed it down on the head of the arrogant man.Regardless of the man's scolding while hugging his head and feet, he grabbed Lu Haiyang who was stunned and ran to the street.After running for a long distance, she let go of him, stuck out her tongue, and breathed heavily: "Lu Haiyang, I think I should hit harder."

"Why are you here?" Lu Haiyang didn't discuss the seriousness of the issue with her, but asked coldly.

Su Mei looked at him and said in a low voice: "Lu Haiyang, don't work part-time, don't you still want to take the postgraduate entrance examination of University B? What's so great about losing a competition."

Lu Haiyang looked at her childlike innocence in her miserable eyes, how could she understand the world of the poor, he turned his head and said coldly: "I know my own way."

"Aren't you short of money? Tell me, I have money."

Lu Haiyang growled, "Is it amazing to be rich?"

"Just because I'm rich, you should treat it as me that prevented you from getting a scholarship, treat it as my mistake, and treat it as giving me a chance to atone for my sins." She wanted to put herself in a low position, so that Lu Haiyang Maybe it's not that hard to accept her.

"Don't think that I will be grateful to you, Su Mei, we are people from two worlds, have you ever seen parallel railroad tracks hug each other?"

That night, when Moonlight climbed onto the bed, Su Mei touched her cheek secretly, and a liquid as cold as sea water flowed out of her eyes.Many people begin to know the taste of despair because they cannot get it because of love.

Have you ever seen parallel railroad tracks hug each other?But Lu Haiyang, with the technology so advanced now, maybe one day the rails will disappear and the plane will become a bus.

Su Mei saw Song Wenqi at the door of the house. He changed into an arrogant racing car. He smiled exaggeratedly at her, and she heard a slightly disappointed sigh in her heart: "Song Wenqi, why are you here?"

"Can't I come?"

"Oh." She echoed wearily.

"Su Mei, why don't you invite your friends to your house?" Su Yuan'an, who was about to go out, invited Song Wenqi to his house.

Walking into Su's house, Song Wenqi noticed his bright and sunny mood.The Su family doesn't have the characteristics of Engang people at all. Engang is close to the sea, which is probably the reason for the sudden wealth. Several of his friends, including his own house, are well decorated.Ke Sumei's wooden table, stairs with plants, transparent space, floor-to-ceiling windows and swaying trees outside the window still have a relaxed atmosphere.

After pouring him a cup of tea, Su Mei left him in the living room and went to wash his hair by herself.Su Mei has natural long curly hair, especially after washing her hair, she is so stunningly beautiful, Song Wenqi swallowed her saliva.Su Mei took out a red book from her pocket and secretly handed it to him. It was a passbook.

"What are you giving me this for?"

"I owe you money last time. I said that the girls in our school all have brand-name bags and high-heeled shoes. I want to buy them too, so my mother told me the password."

"I didn't ask you to pay it back."

Su Mei said frankly: "This is the money owed by Lu Haiyang's family, and it has nothing to do with you."

Holding the passbook, Song Wenqi felt sad at first, but gradually turned into a kind of epiphany, Su Mei and she had connected herself with Lu Haiyang, no matter how hard he tried, he could only be a passerby.He laughed at himself and said, "Then the money he owes has something to do with you?"

"Of course, because I like Lu Haiyang."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a "bang" on the stairs, and she turned around to find that the cup in Ye Meixiang's hand had dropped.She jumped up from the sofa in fright: "Mom, aren't you too tired and fell asleep?"

Ye Meixiang stared at her: "What did you just say? Say it again? Who do you like, Lu Haiyang?"

Seeing the pale faces of the mother and daughter, Song Wenqi hurriedly stood up and said, "Auntie, I'm just chatting with Su Mei."

Ye Meixiang finally came back to her senses, and she couldn't help shouting sharply: "You have been learning how to fall in love at a young age."

Su Mei covered her ears and ran upstairs and slammed the door heavily. Ye Meixiang opened her door with a key: "Su Mei, tell me what's going on between you and that Lu Haiyang?"

"Mom, I'm so annoying." Su Mei covered her head with a quilt.

"What's so good about him, a child of a wage earner, and a mentally ill mother at home, are you going to piss me off?" Ye Meixiang lifted her quilt.

Ye Meixiang thought at that time that eighteen or nineteen-year-old children's definition of liking was just greedy for novelty, and she would definitely let her go if she explained the stakes to her.But what Su Mei said at the time, she sat up from the bed, opened a pair of big eyes, and said firmly: "Mom, even if he is a beggar on the side of the road today, I still like him."

Ye Meixiang slapped tremblingly.The slap on Su Mei's face was hot, but she looked at Ye Meixiang very calmly: "Mom, it's useless, I just like him."

Ye Meixiang was sitting on the ground, she cherished her dignity for so many years.She is strict with herself, and also with Su Mei.She doesn't like the sour taste of her husband's fellow countrymen, but Su Mei likes Lu Haiyang.She stared at Su Mei coldly: "If you have any relationship with Lu Haiyang again, get the hell out of this house."

"Mom, then I'll get out now." Su Mei opened the door calmly.

Song Wenqi had been squatting on the road outside her house. Seeing Su Mei come down, he asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"Take me away from home." Su Mei stared at him, she looked worried like a girl in a fashion painting, she looked careless, but her eyes were full of worry.

That day, Song Wenqi rode his bicycle all the time, and didn't stop until the car ran out of gas.The two sat on the side of the road, the sky gradually turned light blue, and then turned red, the clouds around the sun piled up into blossoms, Su Mei sat on the side of the road with her chin in her hand, the red sun shone Above her head, like soft, gleaming mines.

Song Wenqi was sitting in the car, he suddenly felt like crying.He remembered the first time he saw her.That day she was as beautiful as she is now, and since that day his heart has caught a cold because of her, sometimes weak, sometimes feverish, sometimes painful, but there is nothing he can do about it, the cold is always stubborn and persistent.This is how he likes her, and it must be how she likes Lu Haiyang. Each of them likes someone instinctively.

It was getting dark and the street lights came on. The two left the car on the road and got on the return bus.In the car, Su Mei asked him: "Am I a bad girl?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I have taken up all the shortcomings of a bad girl, such as a bad temper, falling in love with someone early, and contradicting my mother."

"But you have your own good, you are persistent, and you will be responsible for your own choices." Song Wenqi replied seriously.

"Why you, you speak so provocatively." Su Mei punched him, and she couldn't help laughing again.

Song Wenqi couldn't help laughing, and the more he laughed, the more he couldn't stop. The people in the car thought the two of them were crazy and looked sideways.

Isn't it crazy?

When you are young, youth is a never-ending madness, and it is used to chase after the person you like.At that age, in that year, once you like it, it will be very strong.

It was already night when Su Mei got home, and Su Yuan'an had probably searched for her, and was on the phone uneasily in the yard.Ye Meixiang stood in the yard with tears all over her face. When she opened the door and entered, Ye Meixiang stared at her with two tears streaming from her eyes: "You still know how to come back?"

She leaned against the door: "Mom." It's been a long time since she called Ye Meixiang so timidly, and she looked at Ye Meixiang helplessly and expectantly.

"Don't call me mom, I don't have a daughter like you." Ye Meixiang opened the door, pointed to the steps outside the door and said coldly, "Kneel down for me, when will you reflect on it before getting up."

"Acknowledge your mother's mistake." Su Yuanan winked at her.

"I'm right." She ran over stubbornly, and knelt down on the steps with a "plop".

"Su Mei, don't be stubborn, quickly admit your mistake to your mother."

"I'm right." Su Mei said convincingly, "I just fell in love with Lu Haiyang."

Su Yuanan looked at her, sighed heavily, and walked slowly into the living room.He didn't know when, since his daughter was already so big and her wings were full, she started to stay away from their shelter.His heart was filled with sorrow, and he said to Ye Meixiang, "I'll talk to Lao Lu in two days."

Ye Meixiang's face turned pale: "There's nothing to talk about. I've had enough of your poor fellow countrymen. I want them to pack their bags and leave."

Su Yuanan took a breath: "You are really unreasonable."

"You father and daughter are working together to piss me off?"

Su Mei knelt there, Encheng was about to rain again, and the thunder was overhead.She suddenly remembered that when she was in elementary school, there was a heavy rain one day. Her grades were not good and she was detained by the teacher.Through the window, she saw the teacher's family eating in the dormitory. At that time, she was very scared and cried on the table.Amidst the crying, she heard Ye Meixiang's voice: "You let such a small child stay alone?"

"She couldn't write a single word silently. If you don't be strict with her, can she be successful in the future?" The teacher hated her very much at the time.

She ran to the window and saw Ye Meixiang violently knocking down the teacher's table, and said excitedly: "My daughter will definitely be successful, just wait and see."

After so many years, she has gradually grown up, her breasts have gradually bulged, and she has grown taller, and her pants have become shorter and shorter, but she is still not promising.

The rainstorm came unexpectedly. The rainstorm in Encheng is famous, capricious and fanatical.

Ye Meixiang heard the sound of the rain hitting the ground outside, she opened the door, and Su Mei knelt there with disheveled hair, shivering from the cold, looking at her helplessly.I don't know which string was touched, Ye Meixiang walked over: "Don't associate with Lu Haiyang in the future."

What is the stubbornness of adolescence, full of hope.There is no depression, no decadence, if you like someone, you have to be straight. She knelt in the rain and said, "Mom, I really like Lu Haiyang, don't force me."

"Then you can continue to kneel." Ye Meixiang closed the door without looking back.

Ye Meixiang was sitting in the living room, Su Mei was kneeling on the side of the road, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, until there was a sudden "plop" outside, as if someone had fallen to the ground.Ye Meixiang opened the door, and Su Mei fell to the ground wet all over.Ye Meixiang carried her in, gently took off her wet clothes, and covered her with a quilt.When she was sleeping, the corners of her mouth were raised slightly, and her long eyelashes cast a curved silhouette, Ye Meixiang's heart suddenly softened.In fact, a mother is soft at all times, but she is used to protecting her children in a tough way when she thinks it is dangerous.

After being exposed to the rain that night, she caught a cold and had a high fever for three days. During the high fever, Ye Meixiang was always by her side to take care of her.

The fever made her mind confused, and sometimes she would think of some fragments of her childhood, when she was walking with her mother on the beach when she was a child, someone screamed: "Snake." Ye Meixiang hugged her tightly and kicked her away calmly. The snake crawling towards her.She thought that when Ye Meixiang stopped her and Lu Haiyang, she must have been in the same posture, hugging her tightly, shielding her from the harm and temptation from the adult world by instinct.

When she had a high fever, she might have said sorry to Ye Meixiang in a daze, but after recovering from her illness, Ye Meixiang seemed to have amnesia and never mentioned the word "Lu Haiyang" again. An Xin, he only dared to mention Lu Haiyang to Liang Yi secretly.
