The night in s city seems to be so busy all the time. Even at 11 o'clock at night, there are still many men and women on the road, some in a hurry, some walking and chatting, some in groups, and some alone. Tonight is Liu Xianghua's 62nd night. At 11 o'clock at night, he was still walking in the street without going home to rest.

Although s city is a highly developed city, its greening is also quite good. In summer, even if you listen carefully in a quiet place in many modern cities, you may not be able to hear cicadas. However, in S City, you can still hear cicadas in summer even in hot days and busy streets, You can hear insects at night. It's like putting Buddha in a rural town many years ago.

On the leafy trees on the street, cicadas sound from time to time, which is more and more loud in the relatively quiet street in the daytime.

Liu Xianghua was carrying her bag, and her feet could hardly be lifted any more. She dragged and walked with heavy steps to a place where there was no end, no direction and no purpose. She is not an evil person. Of course, she always feels guilty. Even if she has to, even if it has just begun, she knows that the future will really exceed her imagination.

"Second lady, I'm sorry. You shouldn't be so kind to me."

A hot wind blew in the face, blowing a strand of hair that Liu Xianghua had been soaked in sweat and stuck on her cheek. She rubbed it back and forth on her cheek, making her cheek itchy. She stretched out her hand to wipe her hair, raised her face and sighed. Now that this road has been chosen, she has no way to go back, Because it's a one-way street that never ends.

"Biography, how are you now? You know, the most sorry person in my sister's life is you. My sister doesn't have the ability to let you go to a good university. If my sister has money, she won't let you learn to cook, and she won't encounter the current thing." Liu Xianghua said to herself, slowly moving forward, From time to time, it attracted strange eyes and stolen comments from roadside pedestrians.

A black car came from far to near. On this narrow path, it seemed a little huge and uncoordinated, because it was only a place for pedestrians and bicycles. In addition, the people in the car honked their horns from time to time, which made people feel that they should throw the car out and far away.

Liu Xianghua has been walking in the middle of the road. Of course, she is blocking the way of the car. However, because she has been thinking about her own affairs, she doesn't know that she has pressed the horn again and again behind her and the ugly curse of the driver sticking out of the window. She has been walking so slowly.

Finally, the driver in the car should be angry. He stopped the car and got off the car. He was a slightly fat young man. He angrily blocked in front of Liu Xianghua.

"Smelly woman, you're deaf. You didn't hear the horn."

Liu Xianghua was still immersed in her own world. Even when the man stood in front of her, she didn't know it at all, and even bumped into the man's soft and round belly. Because of her elasticity, Liu Xianghua swung back and forth several times before she stopped and woke up from her thoughts. She raised her head and calmly looked at the man who was already angry and had nothing to say, Asked blankly, "Sir, you hit me."

"Did I hit you?" the man asked. It was funny. He had never seen such a woman before, but she looked beautiful. For a moment, the man had a feeling of electric shock, which he had never felt before. His face turned red and looked even more red under the light of the street lamp.

"Oh, that's when I bumped into you. I'm sorry." Liu Xianghua was also very calm. After that, she was going to leave sideways. She didn't think about where to go. She just didn't want to go home. The cabin where she lived alone now feels more and more lonely and afraid.

"Hello." the man turned and shouted, "where are you going? I'll take you home."

"Do you call me?" Liu Xianghua twisted her face.

"Yes, it's yours."

Liu Xianghua thought for a moment and looked down at her mobile phone. It's already 11:30. It's time to go home. Maybe the second miss will find her a good job tomorrow. She will have to go to work. Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "I want to go home."

"Where do you live? I'll see you off. It's convenient for me to drive."

Staring at the man for five seconds, Liu Xianghua nodded, "OK, you take me home. My house is in pulingpo in the suburbs."

"Your home is in the suburbs. Why are you wandering here alone so late?"

Liu Xianghua smiled and didn't answer. The man didn't ask anything. He hurried into the car. The car drove to Liu Xianghua and stopped again. He opened the door for her considerately.

"By the way, what's your name?" the man asked.

"Liu Xianghua."

"Xianghua, this name is very special. My name is Li Chao."

Liu Xianghua smiled and leaned against the seat. She fell asleep soon. The heartless girl got on a strange man's car so easily and fell asleep in the car.

When the car arrived in the suburbs, it was almost 1 o'clock. After calling several times, Li Chao saw that Liu Xianghua didn't wake up. Li Chao thought about it and didn't call her again. Instead, he adjusted the temperature in the car very suitable for sleeping. He took his coat and put it on Liu Xianghua. He also leaned against the seat and slept.

Early in the morning, a crisp voice woke Li Chao up. He vaguely opened his eyes and looked outside. It was already dawn. Only then did he find that his mobile phone rang. He hurriedly picked it up and found that it was his father.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

"Xiao Chao, your mother said you didn't go home all night. What did you do? She didn't say to call her, which made her worry all night."

Li Chao looked at Liu Xianghua, who was still sleeping. He deliberately lowered his voice and covered it with his hands. Then he said, "I know. I'll go back in a minute."

"Hmm -" Liu Xianghua gave a cry and moved her lips. Li Ye hurriedly hung up the phone for fear of waking her up. However, Liu Xianghua woke up soon.

"Hmm -" she stretched out and found herself in the car. She subconsciously looked at herself. Fortunately, her clothes were still good.

"Why am I here?" she asked foolishly.

"You fell asleep last night. You were already asleep when I took you to Po lingpo. I don't know where your house is, so I can only stop here." Li Chao said with a smile.

"Oh, thank you."

"Come on, now that you're awake, I'll take you to have some breakfast."

Liu Xianghua was not disgusted with the strange man in front of her, and even had an unspeakable cordiality. This feeling was very strange, which she had never had before. She thought about it and nodded, "by the way, is your name Li Chao?"

Li Chao nodded. "You have a good memory. I also remember your name is Liu Xianghua. Can I call you Xianghua?"

Liu Xianghua smiled shyly, "OK, whatever you call it."

"Well, my house is not far ahead. Go to my house and I'll make you something to eat, as long as you don't dislike it, because my house..."

"Of course," Li Chao said quickly. This was the first time he had a feeling of love at first sight for a girl. Even she was a little nervous.

"Then drive and I'll show you the way."

The car finally stopped in front of a small courtyard after walking on the narrow path for ten minutes.

"Is this your home?" Li Chao asked. To be honest, this is his first time to come to such a village. He was still very curious.

Liu Xianghua nodded, pushed open the door and got out of the car. At this moment, she regretted that she shouldn't bring Li Chao to her home, a very small and humble place.

Took out the key and opened the door of the yard. Liu Xianghua said to Li Chao, who was still looking around curiously, "come in. It's no better than your city. You'll make do with it."

Li Chao took a deep breath. The air here was much fresher than that in s city. "It's beautiful here. I've never been to these places."

"Really? Then you can come often. I'm always welcome."

"Really?" Li Chao was very happy.

Liu Xianghua didn't know why she made such an invitation, and she couldn't explain why her violent heartbeat was now, but she nodded, "really."

"Well, I'll come often in the future. Just don't bother me."

"How could it be? Come in and sit down." Liu Xianghua pushed open the door of the room. Although it was simple, the room was clean and even spotless.

"Have a glass of water first. I'll wash and then make breakfast. You wait a minute."

Liu Xianghua said and went into the bedroom. After a while, she changed her casual clothes and came out, and then went into the kitchen.

Li Chao originally wanted to help her, but she refused, so Li Chao could only look curiously at the small two bedrooms and one living room, as well as a small yard. There was a small kitchen in the yard. Everything was so small, as small as Liu Xianghua, but very exquisite.

Suddenly he saw a picture frame on the table. Li Chao reached out and picked up the picture frame. There was Liu Xianghua and a little boy. The boy looked like 11 or 12 years old, and Liu Xianghua looked like 16 or 17 years old. I think the boy should be her brother. Then he looked at the room. He found that there were two black-and-white photos of a man and a woman hanging on the left wall, It seems that they should be Liu Xianghua's parents. Have they died? Li Chao thought.

"Go and wash your hands. Dinner is ready. The water pipe is in the kitchen. Go and wash." Liu Xianghua came to the living room with porridge.

"Well, OK."

In meal

Li Chao hesitated many times. Finally, when he was about to finish his meal, he asked, "Xianghua, is the little boy in the picture on the table your brother?"

Liu Xianghua smiled, looked up at the picture, smiled and said, "yes, Xiaochuan was only 12 years old at that time. My parents had a car accident and died at the same time."

Looking at the smile on Liu Xianghua's face, but the tears in his eyes kept turning. Li Chao realized that he was a little reckless just now and mentioned her sad past. He hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I mentioned your sad thing."

"It's all right." Liu Xianghua sipped her tears and smiled, "but now I'm doing well with my brother, and the biography is already 20 years old. Although my parents are gone, they will always live by our side. Just like last night, I dreamed of them."

Looking at Liu Xianghua who is so strong and so difficult to raise his brother, Li Chao has an impulse to protect her. He reaches out his hand and unconsciously holds Liu Xianghua's hand.

"What are you doing?" Liu Xianghua withdrew her hand and stood up vigilantly.

Li Chao also quickly stood up and looked embarrassed. He explained, "yes, I'm sorry, Xianghua. Don't be afraid. I don't want to do anything to you. I just think it's really difficult for you to raise your brother as a girl."

Liu Xianghua was relieved, smiled awkwardly and sat down again.

Li Chao also scratched his head somewhat embarrassed and sat down.

"Eat quickly. The food will be cold later," said Liu Xianghua.

"Well, you're better than my father."

"Really? These are what Xiaochuan taught me. He studied as a cook. I used to cook very badly, but he ate all the food every time. And every time he finished eating, he would say, sister, when I grow up, I want to be a cook, and then cook for you every day." Liu Xianghua's eyes were filled with tears when she spoke. She hadn't seen her brother for a long time.

"Is your brother Liu Chuan?" Li Chao asked.

Liu Xianghua stared at Li Chao and asked, "yes, do you know him?"

Li Chao shook his head. "I just heard from my father that one of his colleagues is also called Liu Chuan and is also a cook."

"Is your father a cook, too?"

"No, my father used to be a housekeeper for others. Liu Chuan is the cook of his boss's house, but my father is not a housekeeper now. He has gone to Hong Kong."

"Oh, so it is." Liu Xianghua nodded. She only knew that her brother was a cook, but she didn't know that he was not in a restaurant but in someone else's house. If she knew, maybe she would ask more.

"Where does your brother work?" Li Chao asked.

"I don't know the name of a hotel. He said that the requirements there are too strict. He can only take a leave once every six months, and he can't ask for leave at ordinary times. I asked him if he could go and see him. He said that the boss would deduct his salary, so I haven't seen him for two months, but fortunately he would call me every other two days."

"Oh, so it is. This hotel is too inhumane. Otherwise, next time your brother calls you, ask him what the name of the hotel is, and then I can take you to see him."

"OK, thank you."
