Chapter 4 04. Letter Note
Gu Heng and Li Zhongxun stopped in front of a house.
The house is a bit old, with green vines attached to the side walls made of sand and stone, which are green and cute.
Lee Jong-xun turned around and looked at Gu Heng, "Brother, we're here."
Gu Heng nodded, with a look of recollection, "Did you buy it back in the past few years?"
"Of course not," Lee Jong-hoon shook his head vigorously, "Five or six years ago, after the situation at home improved, he moved back as soon as possible."
"So that's how it is." Gu Heng curled his lips.
His thumb rubbed his index finger side, Gu Heng took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, and walked forward to the door.
Thirteen years ago, when he first arrived at this house, he had to tiptoe to touch the doorbell, but now he can hold it with his hand.
Dingdong!
Before the door was opened, a middle-aged woman's voice had arrived first.
"Li Jong-hoon, you are not worry-free. Why did you go home so late? You forgot to bring your keys when you go out in the morning? Why don't you forget your own mind at home?"
Gu Heng turned his head and looked at Li Zhongxun.
The boy who was at the strongest stage of his self-esteem in his life lowered his head awkwardly.
With a click, the door was opened.
Gu Heng turned his face and met the middle-aged woman who was perming instant noodles and curly hair and holding a spatula in her hand.
Gu Heng bowed slightly and said hello to the woman, "Aunt Jingshu, long time no see."
He Jingshu's lips moved, but it was quiet for several seconds before she finally made a sound, "Xiaoheng."
After spitting out three words, her voice was already choked.
Gu Heng curled a smile on his lips and said in a gentle voice, "Yes, Aunt Jingshu, it's me."
With a clang, the spatula in the middle-aged woman's hand slid to the ground.
"Brother, what have you been doing all these years?"
"Are you working now?"
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
Gu Heng had already ignored the noise of the boy in his ears, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but want to put the kid's head on.
Facing Gu Heng's dangerous eyes, Li Zhongxun shrank his neck and smiled.
"Li Zhongxun, take your brother back to his room to put his suitcase first, don't just know that he is asking around there." Ha Jingshu, who was cleaning fruits in the kitchen, gave Li Zhongxun an "instruction".
"I know, I know!"
Li Zhongxun pulled the suitcase and took Gu Heng to the second floor and pushed open a small room.
"Is it cleaned very clean?" Li Zhongxun turned his head and asked Gu Heng, with a little "showing" on his face.
Looking at the familiar furnishings in the house, Gu Heng felt a little warm, but he smiled and said, "It seems like you were cleaning me up by your kid."
Lee Jong-hoon's arrogant expression froze on his face and muttered, "It's not that I don't want to, it's because I've been snatched by that woman, okay."
After stroking the small object on the wooden cabinet with his fingertips, Gu Heng asked without looking back, "It sounds like we Zhong Xun seems to have a lot of dissatisfaction with our Nuna."
"Brother, you don't know! Since you left, the woman has been treating me and me."
"What do you do to you?" Gu Heng looked back at him curiously and amusedly.
"She bullies me because she was a few years older than me!" Li Zhongxun was both ashamed and indignant.
"Oh, is that girl so overdoing?"
"Of course!" Li Zhongxun nodded wildly, "he threatened me with pocket money at every turn! He also asked me to keep accounts and report every amount of money!"
"Have your pocket money deducted?" Gu Heng was slightly stunned, "Didn't your pocket money be given to Aunt Jingshu and Uncle Zhong Xin now?"
"Yeah." Lee Jong-hoon nodded dejectedly.
"That girl is only twenty years old now? She really has the style of an elder sister."
After imagining the scene of the "dispute" between the siblings, Gu Heng couldn't help laughing, "Okay, that girl should be at the age of college now, so she should get your pocket money from me in the future."
"Hey? Is that OK?" Li Zhongxun grabbed Gu Heng's arm and almost jumped up.
"Otherwise? We can't let Jong-hoon get money from our sister who has not yet earned money, right?"
"Uh" Lee Jong-hoon's face suddenly became entangled, "Actually, she is not considered to have no income."
"What? Is that girl still working while going to school?" Gu Heng suddenly felt a little distressed.
"Working. It should be considered working too." Li Zhongxun silently analyzed the meaning of the word "working" in his mind and replied in confusion.
"What does it mean to be a job?" Gu Heng said in a sceptical tone.
"Hey, anyway, I'll find out soon!"
Lee Jong-hoon really doesn't know how to explain this issue clearly in a short period of time.
Gu Heng frowned, hesitated for a while before temporarily pressing the question.
Although I don’t know what Li Zhongxun is selling, judging from his previous words, it shouldn’t be a big problem.
Gu Heng continued to push his suitcase to a corner of the room, but when he turned around, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a small iron box on the bedside table.
"Is this?" Gu Heng approached and took it into his hand.
"It's something you didn't have time to take away at that time," Li Zhongxun explained casually, "When you left, weren't we three living at a relative's house? Some of your things you didn't have time to take away were put away by me, Nuna."
"She really has the heart."
"That's right, in her eyes, my brother is the biological brother, and my brother is the one I picked up." Li Zhongxun complained without hesitation.
"When you Nuna comes home, I hope your mouth is still so hard."
"Ah? Are you here with brother?" Li Zhongxun opened his eyes wide and suddenly felt that the backer he had found was not very reliable.
Gu Heng opened the iron box and chuckled casually, "I will only stay for two or three months at most, but I can't cover it."
But before the last word was released, his voice came to an abrupt end.
With his eyes falling into the iron box, Gu Heng looked a little confused.
Most of the things stored in the iron box are small objects left by him in high school, and there is nothing strange about it.
Except for a light pink letter.
The passage of time has caused the color on the envelope to fade a lot.
Although it is old, the seal is flat and obviously not taken apart by a girl.
"Hey, brother, this is." Lee Jong-hoon's eyes lit up, "Is it a love letter?"
When he spoke the last two words, his voice was a little sharp.
Gu Heng looked at the guy with some headache, "I said, can't you just whisper?"
"Hehe, I think it must be, but my sister never lets me take a look. She obviously wants to see it myself."
Gu Heng knocked the boy's head directly, then looked at the letter again, frowned slightly.
Some memories from many years ago were pieced together into complete shapes in his mind.
After hesitating for a moment, his fingertips fell on the sealing line of the envelope.
"Gu Heng!"
A rough voice suddenly came from downstairs.
