At dawn, at some point, Xiao Ni suddenly woke up and lost all sleepiness.

After rubbing his hair, he turned over and sat up. He faintly saw a ray of light falling from the courtyard through the unclosed window. He was stunned, got up, and walked to the window with his slippers.

My eyes passed through the glass window and across the courtyard, and I saw the living room with lights on.

At the window of the living room, the windows were bright and clean. Xiao Ni saw a corner of the living room and happened to see Si Sheng sitting on the sofa with quiet frost eyebrows lying in his arms, quiet and calm, and I don’t know how long I have been sitting there.

He suddenly remembered the advice given to him by the nurse last night—

"Maybe a little troublesome. You should live at home these days."

It was very tactful. If it weren't for the identity of the nurse, I wouldn't even know what he was talking about.

It is precisely because he is a nursing worker that his meaning is very clear: it is better to go home more often with the elderly, and Yi Zhongzheng's condition has taken a sharp turn.

Xiao Ni leaned against the wall, his head slightly tilted, and his gaze fell into the courtyard.

He didn't spend long time with Yi Zhongzheng, and he would say hello at home. Occasionally, he would talk to Yi Zhongzheng at Si Sheng's instructions, but he couldn't squeeze out a topic for a long time.

But he could see that it was a very unusual old man.

Calm, wise, and insight into everything.

Dragging the body that was tortured by illness, in fact, everything is clear.

What's more, people as proud as Si Sheng, who are only a handful of accomplishments in mechanical skills, sincerely evaluate him - a master of mechanical skills. She traveled thousands of miles and met tens of millions of people, but never saw anyone surpass him.

The sky is getting brighter.

It was not until the lights in the living room went out that Xiao Ni suddenly came to his senses.

He heard the sound of the living room opening, turned slightly, avoided the window, and hid behind the curtains.

After waiting for a moment, he leaned out a little again and saw Si Sheng standing at the door, holding frosted eyebrows in his arms, and raised his eyes to look at the sky after the rain stopped.

His eyes paused and fell on Frost eyebrows, who were yawning with their paws stretched out in her arms.

The picture is quiet and beautiful.

...

In the morning, seven o'clock.

Zhong Yu, who woke up on time, received a message from Xiao Ni.

[Xiao Ni]: Brother Zhong, can you let Shuangmei stay at my house for a few more days?

Zhong Yu was in a daze and remembered: Today is the day when he went to get Shuangmei.

In ten minutes, Xiao Ni received a reply.

【Zhong Yu】: Yes.

Two days later, the weather cleared, and the morning sun broke through the clouds and scattered, and the ground was golden, gentle and bright, with a long-lost warmth.

Si Sheng found the wheelchair that he had been in the sun for two hours, then used it to carry Yi Zhongzheng out.

"Do you want to go to the lock store to check it out?"

After leaving the courtyard gate, Si Sheng pushed the wheelchair behind.

The sun is just right, falling on your body, warm.

"Um."

“Are you going to sell the lock store?”

"what ever."

After thinking for a while, Si Sheng said slowly: "Don't sell it. I'm poor in the future and can still make a living by unlocking the lock."

Yi Zhongzheng was too lazy to lift his eyelids, "When you were a child, you were determined to slip through the door and pick the lock?"

"I thought it was cool when I was a kid, but when I grew up I found out that it was illegal."

Si Sheng's tone was quite helpless.

Yi Zhongzheng: "..." is speechless.

As a child, Si Sheng's interests and hobbies are very likely to go to the path of illegal crime. When Si Sheng was having sex outside, Yi Zhongzheng always felt that the next time he met Si Sheng, he would definitely be in prison.

I didn’t expect that for so many years, I don’t know if Si Sheng is lucky or not. I’m very familiar with the police, but I haven’t been squatting for a while.

This is also one of the few things Yi Zhongzheng can find in Si Sheng.

"But this trick is quite useful outside. If you don't have this skill-"

Si Sheng suddenly fell silent.

"how?"

Yi Zhongzheng made a sinister voice.

"Just," cleared his throat, Si Sheng said seriously, "It's much less fun."

Before she could hear the truth from her mouth, Yi Zhongzheng snorted lightly.

But, there was no investigation, nor was it angry.

I had long expected what happened to Si Sheng when he was out.

When Yi Zhongzheng chatted with Qin Rong and others, he always sighed that every time he saw Si Sheng coming back with all his limbs, he felt that God was not bad for Si Sheng.

...

It was a bit far from home to the lock store. It usually took half an hour to walk, but now I am pushing Yi Zhongzheng to walk, chatting while walking, and it took an hour to get in touch.

Along the way, Si Sheng was basically talking, and Yi Zhongzheng occasionally said a few words.

Si Sheng doesn't talk much, she is a person who would rather do anything than talk, and she doesn't like to recall the past.

But this time, she became a nagging person, telling Yi Zhongzheng about her experiences outside, interesting people, and interesting things. Yi Zhongzheng was calm and filled with a "peaceatic" flavor.

I knew that Yi Zhongzheng had been making a lot of adventures before he started his family and career. In that era, remote places were even more chaotic, difficult, and more strange stories. Yi Zhongzheng was a well-informed person, but like Si Sheng, he rarely mentioned the past. Therefore, Si Sheng did not care about him.

Before I knew it, I walked to the door of the lock store.

I usually find someone to take care of and clean up, but I still can't cover up the traces left by time on the storefront.

It is damaged, old, the sign faded, a corner is missing, the walls are mottled, the facade is painted, and when you look up, you look like an old man shaking towards the sunset and dusk.

Si Sheng pushed the wheelchair to the door, took out the key, opened the door, and lifted the roller shutter door.

After not ventilated for a long time, the rotten and dull air came to my face, and was still covered with dust. Si Sheng took a step back and saw the furnishings inside that looked exactly like in his memory - it had never changed.

After putting the key away, Si Sheng put it in his pocket in his hand and smiled at Yi Zhongzheng, "Lao Yi, is it for me that you opened the lock store?"

Yi Zhongzheng, who was drowsy and basking in the sun, heard the sound and lifted his eyelids and looked at her with disgust.

"The older you are, the thicker your skin."

"It's nothing to admit it," Si Sheng curled his lips and walked behind him, "I heard that when you were on a business trip, you threw me away from your neighbor's house. The neighbor didn't take good care of me and asked me to walk through the gates of hell. Then you decided to open a lock store near your home."

“…”

Yi Zhongzheng ignored her.

Si Sheng stretched out his hand and sorted out his hat, "I've dragged you down, don't you regret it?"

The knitted hat was knitted by Si Shengxian at home. It was ugly and he wanted to lose it. Later, Ling Xize was so frustrated that he was looking for Yi Zhongzheng in advance. Yi Zhongzheng said it was okay, so he reluctantly accepted it.

"Si Sheng, don't always think about it. The bond between you is deep. Once someone sacrifices something for you, you will feel like you owe someone." Yi Zhongzheng said it very slowly, but every word is clear, "Have you done anything that disappointed me over the years?"

"No?"

"Not all choices are right or wrong." Yi Zhongzheng said word by word, "You are brave, independent, and strong enough, and have always been doing what you want. In this world, few people can do this."

"Oh," Si Sheng lowered his head slightly, looked at the lock store, and saw the sunlight shining in and dust particles jumping in the air. She asked again, "Will you be proud?"

"Um."

A light word affirmed everything about Si Sheng.

Her arbitrary childhood; a young and frivolous boy; a wandering young man...

No one is doing the right thing all his life.

And she has been doing what she wants to do.

This is enough for him to be proud.

With his nose wings slightly moved, Si Sheng blinked, raised his head slightly, and pushed Yi Zhongzheng into the lock store.

"Si Sheng."

The moment he entered the door, Yi Zhongzheng suddenly called her.

"Um?"

Si Sheng paused.

Yi Zhongzheng raised his head slightly, and in the bright sunshine, he saw Si Sheng who looked back against the light and looked down at him, and spoke slowly, "You will encounter many things in your life, so don't be trapped by one thing."
