Fan Xue, a girl in Class 3 ([-]) of Qingyang No. [-] Middle School, is a little annoyed recently because she feels that her boyfriend doesn't seem to like her anymore.

Fan Xue's boyfriend is Chang Xiaochun, who is her classmate.

Chang Xiaochun, 18 years old this year, is 1.8 meters tall and is a handsome sunny boy.He not only has excellent academic performance, but also loves sports, especially playing basketball.The most enviable thing is his family background.

Chang Xiaochun's father, named Chang Guangyu, was a real estate businessman. He built most of the high-end residential buildings in Qingyang City, and his net worth reached billions.

Although Chang Xiaochun is "tall, rich and handsome", he doesn't have a trace of playfulness, and is quite popular with his classmates at school.

In the first half of the semester of senior high school, the school held a drama competition. Fan Xue and his class rehearsed a "Peacock Flies to the Southeast". Chang Xiaochun and Fan Xue played the male and female protagonists respectively.As a result, the two played the emotional drama from inside to outside, and they fell in love quietly not long after.Under the pressure of the school, they can go for a walk in the woods behind the school holding hands in their spare time, or go to the blues coffee shop outside the school to have something to eat. This couple already feels very happy.

The two had just found the feeling of being in love, and the school was on summer vacation.

Except for calling Fan Xue once in the first week of the vacation, Chang Xiaochun never contacted her again.

For a young girl in love, this is really a long vacation.

On the day of registration at the beginning of this semester, Fan Xue met Chang Xiaochun in the corridor, and ran over to hold his hand forgetfully.

As if he didn't know her, he shook off her hand and left in a hurry.

Fan Xue thought he was afraid of being seen by the teacher, so she deliberately ignored her.

But until the first week of school, even though they were in the same classroom, Chang Xiaochun didn't say a word to her, as if he didn't know her at all.

Only then did Fan Xue feel that something was wrong. Risking the teacher confiscating her mobile phone, she secretly sent a text message to Chang Xiaochun, asking him to meet him in the woods behind the school after school.

After the two met in the evening, Fan Xue asked him angrily why he didn't answer her calls during the summer vacation?
Chang Xiaochun looked at the tree in front of him indifferently, and remained silent for a while.

Fan Xue was anxious, and asked him why he ignored her after school had started for so long?

Chang Xiaochun kicked a stone on the grass far away, and asked her flatly, why should I talk to you?What do I have to do with you?

Fan Xue turned pale with anger, covered her face and ran away crying.

Only then did Fan Xue, who had calmed down, feel that since the beginning of summer vacation, some strange changes seemed to have taken place in Chang Xiaochun.

Not to mention his increasingly indifferent attitude towards her, even he himself has become melancholy and taciturn, often sitting alone on the steps in a daze, with a dull expression and empty eyes, and he does not respond when others call his name, as if he is not called Same as Chang Xiaochun.Passing by the basketball court once, a classmate called his name and threw him a ball. In the past, he would have happily caught the ball and joined their team, but this time he was unresponsive and let the ball hit the nosebleed. Liu, in a rage, actually got into a fight with that classmate.

Afterwards, Fan Xue asked him why he became like this?Chang Xiaochun answered her in four words: Don't worry about it.

The most unexpected thing was that in the first monthly exam this semester, Chang Xiaochun, who had always had excellent grades, actually got the bottom No. 5 in the class.The whole class was in an uproar!
When school was over, Fan Xue stopped him at the stairs again and asked him why he became like this?Is something wrong?
"No, nothing, nothing happened."

Chang Xiaochun lowered his head and passed her by.But Fan Xue clearly saw a hint of nervousness and panic on his face.

Why is this happening?Why did he seem like a different person after a summer vacation?

What happened to him during this holiday?

Seeing his back hastily disappearing into the twilight, Fan Xue made up her mind to make this matter clear.

In the afternoon of the second day, Fan Xue skipped a class and took a taxi to the Qingyang villa complex located at the foot of Qingyang Mountain in the suburbs.

She knew that Chang Xiaochun's family lived here.

She also knew that when Chang Xiaochun was seven years old, his parents divorced, and he lived with his father all the time.Later, his father's business grew bigger and bigger, and he was running business outside all year round, so he stayed at home alone, with only one maid named Aunt Liu in charge of taking care of his food and daily life.

Fan Xue decided to ask Aunt Liu first.

After ringing the doorbell, a plainly dressed middle-aged woman came out to answer the door.

Fan Xue asked: "Are you Aunt Liu?"

The other party nodded, looked her up and down suspiciously, and asked who she was?What's the matter?

Fan Xue smiled, said her name, and then said: "I am Chang Xiaochun's classmate. Xiaochun left a copy of the review materials at home. I happened to pass by on something, so he asked me to come back and help him get it." .”

Seeing that Aunt Liu was still looking at her vigilantly, she hurriedly took out her student ID card to show her.

Only then did Aunt Liu nod in reassurance, let her into the room, and brought her into Chang Xiaochun's study.

Fan Xue searched randomly, finally picked up a math review material, and said with a sigh of relief that she finally found it.

When she came out of the study, Aunt Liu took out drinks and watermelon from the refrigerator and entertained her warmly.

Fan Xue took advantage of the opportunity and sat down on the sofa in the living room. While looking at the layout of the room, she pretended to ask casually: "Uncle Chang—Xiaochun's father, doesn't he come home often?"

Aunt Liu said: "Yes, his father is busy with business outside, and it is rare to come back several times a year. Usually, Xiaochun and I are at home. After Xiaochun went to middle school, he boarded at the school and only went home once on weekends. It’s rare to find someone to talk to.”

"Didn't Uncle Chang find a new mother for Xiaochun?"

Fan Xue asked.

She thought to herself, maybe Xiaochun's change has something to do with this.

Aunt Liu shook her head and said no, his father didn't seem to have such thoughts, and Xiaochun didn't agree with his father finding a new mother for him.

Fan Xue asked, "Why?"

Aunt Liu sighed and said, "Oh, you don't know. When Xiaochun was young, his father was a bricklayer. Later, he made some money contracting projects in the city, so the whole family moved to the city. At that time, Xiaochun's father's business had just started. Started off, but fell in love with another woman outside. Xiaochun's mother divorced Xiaochun's father in a fit of anger, and took Xiaochun's younger brother back to his hometown in the countryside. Xiaochun's father knew that he had done something wrong, deeply regretted it, and soon Just cut off ties with that woman, and took Xiaochun to live alone. Xiaochun always hoped that his parents would be reunited, and that he could have a complete and happy family like he did when he was a child, so he has always opposed his father to find another woman."

Fan Xue saw that she couldn't find anything to ask, so she went straight to the point: "Aunt Liu, do you feel that Xiaochun seems to be a little different from before?"

Aunt Liu nodded and said: "That's true. He seems to have become a lot more dull recently. He doesn't go out to play like before when he comes home on weekends. Instead, he locks himself in the room and stays for a whole day. Sometimes I knock on the door and call He came out to eat, and he lost his temper with me."

Fan Xue asked him when did he become like this?

Aunt Liu thought for a while and said, probably the second week of summer vacation.At that time, he said that he was going to visit his mother in the countryside. He stayed in the countryside for two or three days. After he came back, not only was he tanned, but his personality also changed a lot. Grumpy and yelling at me, it's like a different person.

Fan Xue thought for a while and asked, "Did something happen in the countryside?"

Aunt Liu said, "I don't know either. I'm a servant, so how dare I ask him so many questions."

Fan Xue thought that Xiaochun's personality changed only after he came back from his mother's house in the country. It must be because something happened to him in the country that shocked him deeply, so he became like this.If you want to help Xiaochun, you must first figure out what happened to him in the countryside.

She asked Aunt Liu if she knew where Xiaochun's mother lived in the country?
Aunt Liu said that she lives in Yunfeng Village at the foot of Yunfeng Mountain in Yunfeng Town, more than 100 kilometers away from the urban area.

Fan Xue kept it in her heart and got up to say goodbye.

On Saturday afternoon, Fan Xue put on her backpack and got on the town bus bound for Yunfeng Town.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the town station.

There was no shuttle bus to Yunfeng Village in the town, so she had to call a "motorcycle" and bumped on the country dirt road for an hour before finally arriving at her destination.

Yunfeng Village lies at the foot of Yunfeng Mountain. The village is not big, with only [-] or [-] families.

Fan Xue vaguely remembered hearing Chang Xiaochun talk about his mother. He said his mother's surname was Wu Lanying.

As soon as she asked the villagers, she quickly found Wu Lanying's home.

It was an old one-story house. Behind the house was a vegetable field, and in front of it was a chicken coop. An old dog was taking a nap under the jujube tree.The door was open, and there was no one in the room.Seeing that it was still early in the sky, she turned around and walked up the mountain.

She decided to go for a walk on the mountain first, and wait until it was getting late, so she could find an excuse to stay in the house.

Yunfeng Mountain is nearly a thousand meters high, with verdant trees and beautiful scenery.

She climbed to the top of the mountain and saw a huge rock protruding out of the sky, shaped like a huge eagle's beak, and the three characters "Eagle's mouth cliff" were engraved on the side of the rock.Hundreds of meters below Yingzui Cliff, there is a fast-flowing mountain stream, which is connected with a big river in the distance.The mist rises from the mountain stream, and the cliff is shrouded in mist, creating a majestic atmosphere.

She was fascinated by the wonderful beauty from the moment she was born with an art specialty. She quickly took out the picture clip from her backpack and set it up, facing the majestic cliff and deep stream.

I don't know how long it took to draw, but a mountain sketch was finally completed. Just as I shook my sore arms and breathed a sigh of relief, I heard a voice behind me saying, "The painting is really good!"

She looked back, and saw a country boy standing behind her at some point, about the same age as her, tall and thin, with dark skin, staring at her painting with an expression of admiration on her face.

Fan Xue smiled generously, took the drawing paper off the easel, handed it to him and said, "If you like it, I'll give you the painting, okay?"

The boy blushed, took the painting, turned and ran away.

When the sun was setting, Fan Xue started to walk down the mountain.

When I came to Wu Lanying's house, I saw the chickens had entered the pen. In the main room, there was a woman in her 40s with a haggard face sitting at the table eating. She must be Chang Xiaochun's mother, but I don't know where Xiaochun's brother went.

She went to the door and said: "Auntie, I am a sketch student from the city. There was a motorcycle driver who made an appointment to pick me up in the evening, but his car broke down and he couldn't come. I can't go back to the town for a while. I want to stay at your house for one night, can I? Don't worry, I can pay for the room. "

Wu Lanying hurriedly got up and said: "This child, whoever doesn't encounter difficulties when going out, doesn't he just stay for one night, and what is the money? If you don't dislike our country people, you can live here tonight. Girl, You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Sit down and eat together." After speaking, he warmly brought her a bowl of rice.

Fan Xue was also polite, said thank you, and sat at the dinner table.

After dinner, it was dark.

Wu Lanying asked her to go into the room to watch TV.

Fan Xue walked into the back room. Although the room was old, it was very clean.

As soon as he sat down, he saw a photo hanging behind the TV. It was a group photo. The one on the left was Wu Lanying, and the one on the right was a tall young man with delicate features and a mischievous look in his eyes.

She couldn't help being taken aback, pointed at the boy and blurted out: "Hey, isn't this Chang Xiaochun?"

Wu Lanying was also taken aback, and asked, "Do you know Xiaochun?"

Fan Xue said: "Of course, he is my classmate."

"Really?" Wu Lanying couldn't help holding her hand affectionately, "So it's Xiaochun's classmate, what a coincidence, I'm Xiaochun's mother."

Fan Xue had a sweet mouth and hurriedly called out "Hello, Auntie".

Wu Lanying responded and said, "But this time, you may have misjudged. This photo was taken two years ago. The person standing next to me in the photo is not Xiaochun, but his younger brother Chang Xiaodong."

Fan Xue was startled: "It's his younger brother?"

Wu Lanying sighed and said: "Girl, you don't know, when Xiaochun was seven years old, I divorced his father, he followed his father, and I took his brother back to my hometown in the countryside."

Fan Xue looked at the photo and said, "But the person in this photo is obviously Xiao Chun. If it's his younger brother, then the two brothers look too much alike, they were printed from the same mold."

Wu Lanying said: "Of course they do. They are a pair of twin brothers. Xiaochun was only born 5 minutes earlier than Xiaodong. The two brothers stood together. Except for me and his father, no one else could tell the difference. Xiaochun came to visit during the summer vacation. My brother and I walked through the village side by side, and no one in the village could tell which was the eldest and which was the second.”

Fan Xue took a closer look, and found that the teenager in the photo was a little darker than Chang Xiaochun, but there was really no difference at all.

Fan Xue asked: "What about Xiaochun's younger brother? Why are you the only one at home?"

Wu Lanying smiled wryly and said, "Xiaodong didn't do well in school. After finishing her freshman year of high school, she went to work in Guangdong during the summer vacation and never came back."

Seeing her evasive eyes, Fan Xue suddenly felt suspicious, and asked: "Then do you know where Xiaodong works?"

Wu Lanying shook her head and said: "It seems to be in Guangzhou and Dongguan. I don't know the exact address. He called home twice a while ago, saying that he tried two jobs and was not satisfied. He plans to go to the training first. Learn technology, and then find a job. I don’t know where to learn technology.”

The next morning, when Fan Xue woke up, Wu Lanying had already made breakfast.

Even though she didn't ask anything last night, Fan Xue still saw some clues from Wu Lanying's dodging eyes and bitter expression.

She felt that Chang Xiaochun's misfortune in the countryside must be related to his twin brother Chang Xiaodong.

She also felt that Wu Lanying must have something else to hide from her.

After breakfast, Wu Lanying went to work in the fields, while Fan Xue walked around the village, looking for someone to inquire about Chang Xiaodong's situation.

When the villagers heard the name "Chang Xiaodong", they all shook their heads and waved their hands, showing disgust.Ask again, but the villagers are unwilling to say more.

Fan Xue was very depressed, and walked up the mountain sullenly, and then came to Yingzui Cliff on the top of the mountain. The stream below the cliff roared, and the mist rose. The morning sun only showed a hazy circle of light above the clouds and mist.

She felt that the scenery was even more beautiful than what she saw yesterday, so she couldn't help but set up her portfolio, and was about to draw the wonders of the mountains, when she heard footsteps behind her, and when she looked back, it was the same person from yesterday who walked over. She paints the country boy.

Fan Xue saw something in his longing eyes when he stared at the portfolio, and asked him: "Do you also like painting?"

The boy nodded and said, "Yes, I am an art student at the school, but my family is poor and I don't have money to buy easel drawing paper. I usually draw on waste homework books."

Fan Xue smiled, put away the easel drawing paper and brushes, handed them to him and said, "Then I'll give you a set of painting tools."

The teenager was overjoyed and grinned.

When the boy was about to leave happily with his painting tools, Fan Xue suddenly thought of something, stopped him and asked, "Do you know Chang Xiaodong?"

The young man was startled, then turned around and said, "I know you, we went to high school together in the town, we are classmates, we are still good friends."

Fan Xue said "Oh", she never expected to meet Chang Xiaodong's classmate here.

She asked, "Do you know where Chang Xiaodong went?"

The boy said: "I heard that he went to work in Guangdong. This person is really mean, and he doesn't say hello to me when he travels far away. I just asked his mother to find out."

Fan Xue asked: "Has he contacted you since he arrived in Guangdong?"

The boy shook his head and said no.

Fan Xue pointed to a large bluestone next to her, and after they sat down, she continued to ask: "Can you tell me what kind of person Chang Xiaodong is?"
