The night is getting deeper and the lights are dim.

Xiao Ni stood under a tree outside the community gate, stuffed with headphones. The white headphone cable was winding down and sank into his pocket. He put his hands in his pocket and his other hand was carrying a bag of fruit in his pocket. His eyelids were drooping, listless and a little sleepy.

"elder brother."

A clear shout penetrated the mellow and low English listening and fell into Xiao Ni's ears.

Xiao Ni raised his eyelids upwards, took off his headphones, and saw Si Fengmian, Si Sheng and Ling Xize walking out of the door.

It was only a few hours since I saw him, and Si Fengmian waved to him like a fool.

After approaching, Si Sheng looked at Xiao Ni and asked, "Has someone been sent home?"

"Um."

Xiao Ni nodded.

He had already walked into the subway and was waiting for the bus. However, Si Sheng called him and saw that the subway door was open to him and he had to turn it back.

They said something "important", but the three of them were leisurely and did not see any sense of urgency.

Be convinced.

Si Sheng tilted his head and pointed his eyes at the car parked at the school gate, "Let's go."

Xiao Ni: "..." I knew that if there was an urgent matter, Si Sheng did not have this attitude.

He stuffed the headphones again, and Xiao Ni listened to his hearing and stuck behind them without saying a word.

When passing through the underground passage, Si Fengmian approached Xiao Ni and took Xiao Ni's headphones casually. When he heard this, his expression was a bit subtle, "Do you usually listen to the earphones on the table when you go to English classes?"

"Um."

Xiao Ni pulled the headphones back.

Si Fengmian lowered his head and muttered in pain, "We who are studying gods really don't understand your efforts-"

It's time to heaven!

Xiao Ni looked at him squintedly and warned coldly: "Don't brush the test paper when you go back."

Smiling, Si Fengmian scratched his nose and said, "You are the top students who can draw four times, and we are the top students who can draw two times."

“…”

Xiao Ni has to pay attention to him if he doesn't want to pay attention to him.

Since this man finished the work, he had done the papers one by one, and he was thinking about making up for the month he had been delayed. It was also rare, and he firmly ranked last and was proud to go to the top.

Front.

Si Sheng turned his head and looked back, frowned and asked Ling Xize: "Did I hear the two words "test papers during the summer vacation?"

Ling Xize looked at her sympathetically, took her hand, and said earnestly: "They will be in the third year of high school in a few days."

“…”

A really suffocating year.

"When I was in my senior year of high school, my senior sister made me a study plan," Si Sheng approached Ling Xize slightly, lowering her voice, "She ran around all day and couldn't go to class. The only thing she remembered to check in was to check my homework every weekend. I didn't go to class in the first and second year of high school, so I had to start from scratch, and the test papers were ridiculously numerous."

"Psychological shadow?"

"Psychological shadow." Si Sheng got goose bumps when he thought about it and muttered, "It's a blessing that high school knowledge is simple, otherwise he would have to die at her hands."

Ling Xize smiled softly, "You are smart."

"Smart is the enemy of hard work," Si Sheng said, frowning, "The few moments of our lives have been perfunctory with "smart" and "talent". Who knows that we have worked overtime?"

"Well. According to your outlook on life, every effort is worth remembering." Ling Xize cooperated seriously.

"The tone is wrong-" Si Sheng glared at him, "Why ridicule?"

Ling Xize pretended to be calm, "You can see this?"

Si Sheng pinched his waist in anger.

After a while, Si Sheng said again: "Chat is just a joke. But we hate being said to be 'smart' and 'talented'. It seems that our excellence is for granted, and not being excellent is not hard work. Everyone cares about their comments."

"us?"

"I, Song Qingming, and Qin Fan," said Si Sheng. "Song Qingming did not start to be a top student in middle school. When we were in elementary school, we all handed in blank papers together."

"Is this the reason why you have been causing trouble since childhood?"

"It's a bit too much, I've been rebellious since I was a child." Si Sheng nodded and raised his hand to point at the two teenagers behind him, "Both of them are smart and have their own talents. One is harder than the other. They will never sleep until one or two o'clock in the evening. They all saw that they were the first in class, the first in school, and the first in the city. Who saw that they had finished one or two o'clock in the day to do the questions every day?"

Ling Xize understood what she meant. She didn't say it when she was a sister, but she still felt sorry for her two younger brothers.

But he didn't say anything else, just laughed lightly and whispered: "You."

Si Sheng was stunned.

"I know, you think it doesn't matter if you don't get the first place." Ling Xize clasped her hand and smiled on her lips deepened, "But we top students all like to do the best."

Si Sheng glared at him, "You are so exhausted."

"It's okay, you still feel sorry for me anyway."

“…”

Si Sheng didn't say anything, so he turned his head away.

Is it really annoyed by these people? Wouldn’t it be good to enjoy life well?

*

Si Sheng didn't rehearsal tomorrow morning. The latest one was near noon. He originally planned to sleep in the hotel, but he thought that Yi Shici and Lu Qiao might have something to do with him, so he asked Xiao Ni, so he followed Ling Xize and the others back to Shuiyun.

However, it was not until Xiao Ni asked that Si Sheng remembered this incident.

So they changed their seats temporarily, Si Sheng and Xiao Ni sat in the back, and Si Fengmian and Ling Xize sat in the front.

"What does Yi Shici and Lu Qiao have to do with Lu Qiao? How did you know Lu Qiao?"

Si Sheng didn't say much nonsense, was too lazy to lay the groundwork, and asked straight to the topic.

Xiao Ni was stunned for a moment, "Did Uncle Yu tell you?"

"What's the case?" Si Sheng asked, and without waiting for Xiao Ni to say anything, he said, "Yes."

Xiao Ni slowly said "Oh" and organized the language in his mind.

After a while, he finally spoke: "I had seen him at home. Before my father passed away, my mother was keen on designing her own agency house. She might know that her skills were not good and the drawings could not be implemented, so she found Luqiao - Luqiao was a carpenter. I didn't know at the time, but now when I think about it, I should be asking about the operability of Luqiao drawings."

"oh."

Si Sheng expressed understanding.

I really didn't expect that Yi Shi Ci still has self-knowledge.

She asked again: "It's because of this?"

"no."

If it was just because of this, Xiao Ni really didn't need to approach the land bridge, it would be meaningless.

After a pause, Xiao Ni continued, "After my father passed away, my mother was not very enthusiastic about this. But once when I went home, I saw Lu Qiao coming to find her, and she had a big fight with Lu Qiao. - She is very strong-willed and often argues with people, but the first time I saw her quarrel with people like this."

Si Sheng said "yes" and signaled Xiao Ni to continue.

"The reason for the quarrel seems to be that she believes in Lu Qiao and keeps showing Lu Qiao's drawings, but Lu Qiao turns around and sells her drawings. Lu Qiao ridicule her, and those drawings are useless in her hands. Only when they are sold to experts can they use waste. So she is very angry."

At that time, Xiao Ni had never paid attention to the drawings studied by Yi Shi Ci, and did not understand the meaning. However, he knew that Yi Shi Ci attached great importance to it, and Lu Qiao's attitude was bad, so he drove Lu Qiao out and even took action. After reading Yi Shi Ci, he went crazy all day at home and tore up a lot of drawings.

Because Yi poetry has always regarded the drawing paper for life, the contrast of reactions to tear the drawing paper in a crazy way was too big, so Xiao Ni was deeply impressed. Even Lu Qiao forgot him, and he did not forget Lu Qiao.

"I'm close to Luqiao, and I don't want to know anything specifically, it's just..." Xiao Ni paused and couldn't find a suitable description. He simply said, "As soon as he saw him, he agreed to Uncle Yu."

He couldn't even figure out the matter of Yi Shici.

He didn't expect to understand anything in Lu Qiao either.

But when I saw the photo of Lu Qiao at Yu Tianqin that day, I suddenly thought of the quarrel that made Yi Shici collapse, and he agreed by a tragic act. But even he couldn't figure out the specific reasons himself.

After that, he naturally approached Lu Anzhi and had several conflicts with Lu Qiao. Lu Qiao had long forgotten him, and there were only alcoholism, drugs, carpenters and... domestic violence in his life.

It is said that carpenters are just to change the dressings.

"Since it's your mother..." Si Sheng played with his phone, paused, and said, "Then there is something I should tell you."

Xiao Ni turned around calmly, "What?"

"When Yi Shici married Si Shangshan, she was suspected to have been deceived by Si Mingsheng - Si Shangshan's father had a lot of drawings. Si Mingsheng had certain professional knowledge, but he was not as good as Yi Shici in terms of imagination and creation. In fact, in terms of imagination, Yi Shici is indeed a genius, but his foundation is not solid and has no background."

Si Sheng said slowly: "It is not so difficult to transform her drawings."

Xiao Ni refused to comment.

He had asked Si Sheng to help me modify the drawings of Yi Shi, but Si Sheng finished it easily, without delaying anything, without any effort.

"The drawings are useless in the hands of Yi Shici, and they are a pile of waste paper. Lu Qiao is right, but when it comes to professionals, they can turn waste into treasure."

"Reliable news. The Si family made its fortune in the interior design industry at the beginning with Yi Shici's drawings."
