"I love you, I'm a monster, but I love you." - Lolita

The stone bench is surrounded by a lotus pond that has long been dried up. There is a bronze statue standing between the mud and dead branches and leaves. The bronze statue is abstract in shape and can basically be distinguished by the naked eye. However, one side is very polished and you can see the twisted phantom of the portrait from above.

Just now, Fei Du raised his eyes accidentally and met the pair of eyes reflected from the bronze statue.

After all, the bronze statue is not a mirror, and the light and shadow are very blurry, and even the other party is a man, woman, and young man. But somehow, when Fei Du saw those eyes, his heart tightened for no reason. The vanilla puff that he had swallowed was stuck in his chest. He subconsciously raised his head and followed the shadow on the bronze statue to search for it-

There is no courtyard wall around this old community. Several buildings are mixed together and form a group of them. They are ambiguous with the busy street border. There is a bus stop nearby. Due to misplanning in early years, it has invaded the community. Many people lined up outside the bushes, coming and leaving. The business of several small shops on the street is quite prosperous. It was almost noon, and there were already people standing in front of several snack stalls waiting.

The crowd was bustling with people, including residents of the community wearing pajamas, passers-by in the peripheral areas, private car owners who regarded the internal roads as shortcuts, some were eating, waiting, and couriers and food deliverymen coming and going...

The owner of those eyes was extremely alert and had quietly hidden into the crowd. Fei Du found no suspicious signs.

He immediately stood up and said to Chenchen: "Let's go, we're going home."

Chenchen was not at all aware of crisis, and dragged the long voice "ah" in disappointment, and looked at the snack bar in the street row reluctantly. She licked the remaining cream on her fingers, turned her eyes and made a reasonable request to Fei Du: "I still have pocket money. You just invited me to have a puff, otherwise I would like to invite it back now? I also want to have a matcha."

"On the other day," Fei Du pushed the back of her head gently and without saying a word, "It's going to have lunch."

Chenchen was forced to stand up with him: "But I don't like to eat, I still have a lot of dishes I don't like to eat."

"Well, actually, too," Fei Du admitted his princely disease in front of the little girl very frankly. Then, he changed his voice and said, "But it will be fine when you grow up. When you grow up, you buy whatever you like, and no one will find you picky about food."

Chenchen looked up at him speechlessly, feeling that these adults were shameless. At this time, she suddenly saw Fei Du's expression clearly and was stunned.

The early childhood child is half-aged and has some of his own little thoughts and can basically understand the adult's face. Chenchen originally thought that Fei Du was just talking to her, but when he looked up, he found that he was frowning slightly, his face a little too serious.

She couldn't help but become nervous and reached out to grab the corner of Fei Du's clothes: "Big brother, what's wrong?"

While talking, the two passed by a residential building. The windows in the corridor on the first floor opened outwards and spread out a curve. Fei Du let the little girl walk in front of him quietly, keeping her head down and talking to her. When he walked here, he suddenly raised his eyes without warning.

I caught a pair of gazes that were following me in the clear window!

The man wore sunglasses and masks, and his whole face was wrapped tightly. Fei Du pressed Chenchen's shoulder and turned his head quickly. At the same time, about two hundred meters behind them, a man penetrated into the bushes next to him and disappeared in a flash. Fei Du only saw his hunched figure and gray hair clearly.

elder?

Chenchen didn't know what happened, so he looked at him with fear.

Fei Du's cold eyes penetrated the lenses on the bridge of his nose, swept across the crowd not far away, and asked, "Does anyone give it to him when you go to school?"

"Yes...yes," Chenchen said softly, "My parents are at home, and they will pick me up. If they are not here, my sister will take me on the subway. If my sister also works overtime, I will stay at school for a while, and the school has a special teacher to take care of it."

Fei Du nodded thoughtfully and asked again: "Have you ever seen a strange old man nearby?"

Chenchen thought about it for a moment and shook his head at him with doubts.

The two quickly walked into the residential building. The light gray old building isolated the sight from the shadows. After a while, an old man with a hunched back slowly walked out from behind the bus stop sign.

He covered his face, with huge sunglasses on his face, and a crutch in his hand, like a person with poor vision, knocking back and forth on the ground with a crutch on the way.

The people around each had their headphones plugged in, most of them fiddling with their phones indifferently, without paying attention to his staggering steps.

The lenses of his expression are his excellent cover, the sun cannot penetrate, but the greedy vision can do it.

After a long journey, the vision penetrated time and space, staring at the place where the little girl was just now.

The flashes seemed to be dancing on her floral dress, and the crystal hairpin reflected a clear little face, which was within his sight and the only bright color in the whole world. The childish silhouettes burned violently the moment they came into his eyes, leaving a layered outline on his retina.

But the terrible snake monster was guarding the forbidden fruit. He remembered the eyes of the man beside the girl, and hid in the shadows in fear. Fear and desire gathered into a unique terror. He pursed his lips thirsty, fell heavily backwards, leaning against a tree trunk, his chest was undulating violently, and he was fascinated by the terror of his heart.

Like a drowning or taking poison.

After a while, the elevator had been repaired. Fei Du pressed the twelfth floor and entered the elevator with Chenchen.

Chenchen asked carefully: "Brother, what happened just now?"

Fei Du had a meal, but did not comfort the girl: "I saw a very suspicious person - remember from now on, when you are alone with the adults, you should pay more attention."

"I know, I'm going to graduate class when school starts, and I'm not a first-grade child," Chenchen imitated the tone of an adult, counting one by one with his fingers, "You must keep a distance from strangers, don't eat what strangers give, strangers ask for help, and politely ask them to find the police..."

"Be careful, no stranger," Fei Duqu knocked on her forehead, "Don't get into the adult's car alone, nor do you stay alone with an adult without others - for example, it's unsafe to stay with me now, what if I'm a bad person?"

Chenchen covered his forehead and stared at the man who claimed to be a bad person: "Ah?"

"Including the teachers in your school, as well as the grandpa and grandma who seem to be inconvenient to move, do you remember?"

Chenchen couldn't help but shivered. At this time, the elevator arrived at the 12th floor, and the iron gate opened. She asked in a low voice: "Why? Brother, I'm a little scared."

"Knowing that being afraid is a good thing, because good things are like porcelain," Fei Du reached out to block the elevator door and signaled the girl to go out first. "For them, the most dangerous thing is often not the cats running around in the room."

"What is that?"

Fei Du looked into the girl's eyes and said softly: "It's the porcelain that itself did not realize it was fragile."

Luo Wenzhou was in front of the meter box, holding a cigarette in his mouth, leaning against the wall waiting for them.

"You two need to buy a fuse for half a year?" Luo Wenzhou took out the flashlight and a screwdriver and put it aside. "If you don't come back, the frozen fish in the refrigerator will escape from prison."

Chenchen looked for a sense of security, stepped aside his short legs and ran into the house quickly.

Fei Du took the screwdriver from Luo Wenzhou's hand, skillfully disassembled the meter box, took off the burnt safety, and then turned it around with the old-fashioned fuse several times, twisted it gently, and didn't ask for pliers. He directly cut off the small safety with the head of the screwdriver. He reached out and pulled it twice to ensure it was installed, and pushed the switch back and pushed it back.

A "beep" sound came from the room behind him, and the refrigerator and air conditioner were resurrected at the same time. The whole process did not exceed one minute. Before Luo Wenzhou could light the cigarette in his mouth next to him.

Luo Wenzhou looked at him and suddenly realized that Fei Du had completely left the category of a boy and was a man.

He looked at Fei Du, and his vision was often divided. When he was tit-for-tat, Luo Wenzhou felt that Fei Du was a dangerous disaster. He was a bastard with a temperament and could not tell any other things. He could explode at any time and he opened his mouth and was particularly ignorant of speaking.

When he is calm, he always thinks of the thin boy who was huddled at the door of the villa. Sometimes he is worried about him, and sometimes he will involuntarily over-attention - it is the big brother-like care without distractions.

But I don’t know if Fei Du was just rushing across the line and provoking it in the stairwell. Suddenly, Luo Wenzhou’s perspective of two had a point of combining it into one. Deviations and fallacies corrected each other, and finally a small piece of objective Qingming Festival was revealed. Fei Du was neither a dangerous anti-social nor a poor little boy. He was first of all, a man, and a very beautiful young man, with a blatant and sensible body, and he still held a pipa and half-covered face and said, “Welcome to sleep at any time”.

Luo Wenzhou thought that if he was not Fei Du, but just a stranger who passed by the street or bar, he would probably be the type that makes people think for a while.

But... why should we have the prerequisite of "if he is not Feidu"?

Did Luo Wenzhou think about life, and even when eating, he was a little absent-minded. Taoran’s dining table was not enough, and many dishes could not be placed, so he had to bring them over directly. Luo Wenzhou was not careful and scooped a large piece of “sweet elbow” in a small plate next to Fei Du. He put it in it and remembered that this place belonged to “below the knee” and the young master would not eat it.

Luo Wenzhou paused. Before he could speak, he saw Fei Du poking it gently with the tip of his chopsticks, frowned and staring at the small eyes for a moment, and then put it into his bowl with disgust, with his expression as if he had smelled the smell of imported cat food.

Luo Wenzhou: "..."

Sure enough, all the "below the knee" and "pharyngitis" are all the grandsons that are pretending to be this bastard.

In addition to the group of people from the municipal bureau, Fei Du and Chang Ning are both extroverted and able to talk, and can quickly integrate into the atmosphere. They don’t look like outsiders at all. Lang Qiao also had horns and pretended to be foreigners, brought two bottles of red wine. Except for the minors, each of them poured a glass to warmly celebrate Deputy Tao’s joining the army of house slaves and dogs.

Lang Qiao cleverly saw the thick single arrow between Tao Ran and Chang Ning. In front of Chang Ning, she improvised and organized an "Praise of Deputy Tao" in an verbal manner, from how Tao Ran loves his job and dedicated to his love for life and small animals. He also listed the various arduous struggles made by Deputy Tao Team against Captain Luo, who had been in danger of protecting the vast number of "broken urgings". Finally, under Luo Wenzhou's gaze of slight smile, she changed her voice and fabricated a beautiful suitor for Tao Ran out of thin air. He was so scared that Tao Ran quickly bowed and begged the female donor not to make up for the innocent.

"Brother Tao is really patient," Fei Du interrupted in time to relieve the embarrassment. "In the future, I will definitely be a model father. I have a child. I have caused him a lot of trouble when I was a child."

Tao Ran waved his hands repeatedly with blushing face.

Chang Ning looked at him curiously.

Fei Du took a sip of red wine: "My mother is not early. Brother Tao happened to be the police officer who handled my mother's case at that time. My father didn't care about me at that time. He took care of me for a long time. Actually, I was over teenager at that time. Even if no one cared about me, I couldn't starve to death. But it was only then that I knew what 'serious life' meant. Sister, don't think he always dealt with it. In fact, when taking care of others, everything can be thought of for you."

After hearing this group of people, Chang Ning promoted Tao Ran in a word. He didn't feel anything else, so he realized that Mr. Tao had a good popularity first and couldn't help but turn his head and smile at Tao Ran.

Tao Ran's alcohol tolerance was originally limited than "one cup". After being filled with half a glass of red wine, he was already dizzy and was stared at by the dream lover with a smile. He completely lost his thinking function and was so embarrassed that he started to talk nonsense: "No, no, really... really no, Xiao Feidu was not taken care of by me at that time. Everyone cared about you. Even my master later heard that he would often ask a few questions...Who is there - Wen Zhou, don't look at him, but he actually secretly saw you several times. He asked me for your game console..."

Luo Wenzhou heard that his words were wrong and quickly kicked him under the table, but it was too late.

Tao Ran's little sense of balance was wiped out by his feet, and he leaned to one side and knocked down a cardboard box containing miscellaneous items that had not had time to pack up.

Various professional books, idle books, folders, and notebooks fell all over the floor.

Fei Du and Luo Wenzhou each guarded a corner of the table and froze.

Lang Qiao heartily pushed Luo Wenzhou with his elbow: "It's true, boss, you have done this, it's so embarrassing."

Luo Wenzhou: "..."

You still tell me if you know it’s embarrassing!

He stood up to clean up the cardboard box that Tao Ran touched.

"It's a waste of time, I'll talk nonsense when I drink too much." Luo Wenzhou ruthlessly changed the subject, picked up a yellowed notebook and shook the ashes, "Hey, why are your old notes on your side?"

He finished speaking, a pencil portrait fell out of the notebook, with a man painted with a straight facial features and gentle temperament. He looked straight outside the paper and something dark was faintly suppressed.

The date is marked on the drawing paper, which is more than 20 years ago, and there are notes written in the corner.
