What Su Ziwei dislikes the most is celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is no special reason. He just feels that there is no need to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival without reunion.

After all, his mother has been gone for almost two years. In addition, last year, Su Ziwei's best friend also passed away due to a rare congenital disease. He felt that he had grown up all of a sudden. After losing his friend and his mother, this

Su Ziwei had a very hard time in the past two years, and even his personality became a little withdrawn. He was originally lively and cheerful, but he said very few words in the past two years.

And...how could his father have fallen in love with another woman in just two years? That woman also had a three-year-old child, which made Su Ziwei even more unacceptable.

The little girl named Chen Ting stood in front of Su Ziwei holding a small rabbit lantern with a smile on her face.

His father said that he would transfer their mother and daughter's household registration over a period of time, and Chen Ting would change her name to Su Ting.

She has the same surname as Su Ziwei, and she is Su Ziwei's younger sister.

But seeing the innocent-looking little girl looking up at him, Su Ziwei felt very irritated.

"Brother, do you want a rabbit lantern?" Three-year-old Chen Ting, who was not very fluent in speech yet, said in a babyish voice and handed over her most beloved lantern. Su Zi did not glance over and did not want to talk to her. Chen Ting

Then she hugged his leg and said, "Brother, please play with me..."

"Who is your brother?" Su Ziwei said angrily, "Don't scream, you have nothing to do with me!"

Chen Ting was startled and burst into tears. The stepmother Wang Yue was also frightened, but she did not dare to say anything except holding the crying child.

"Zi Wei!" The father on the side said in shock: "How can you talk to your sister like this?"

Su Ziwei looked at his father stubbornly: "You are a family, I am not. She is not my sister either."

"Su Ziwei!"

Before his father could teach him a lesson, Su Ziwei turned around and rushed out of the door.

Damn the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter who loved whom! How could he spend the Mid-Autumn Festival without his mother?

Of course, in another place in the same city, there are also children who are just as unwilling to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival as Su Ziwei.

A boy with neatly combed hair was sitting in front of a very long mahogany table. He held a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right hand. He was not interested in the high-end seafood dishes in front of him. He seemed to be

Without any emotion or joy, he waited for the butler to pour juice into his glass.

"Xiao Yu, eat quickly. What's wrong?" Mom was at the other end of the table and gently tapped the corner of the table with her index finger. "Do you miss your sister?"

The boy named He Yu did not speak. At only eight years old, he looked more mature than other children of the same age.

"Mom said, sister can't stay in China, sister must go abroad. I know you don't want to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival without reunion..."

"What about dad?" He Yu suddenly said coldly, "Why isn't dad here either?"

Mom sighed and put down the knife and fork in her hand: "Dad and grandpa are very busy. They have to be busy with the company..."

He Yu suddenly inserted a piece of fish meat into his mouth with a knife and started chewing it mechanically. Seeing this, his mother raised her hand and asked the housekeeper to go over and wipe his mouth.

"Xiaoyu, are you still having trouble sleeping at night?" Mom asked.

He Yu didn't say anything, he just lowered his head and ate the meal that he didn't want to but had to eat.

The mother asked the housekeeper: "When will Xiaoyu's psychiatrist come?"

The housekeeper looked at the watch in his hand: "There's still half an hour, madam."

Listening to the conversation between his mother and the housekeeper, He Yu's eyes darkened. But as a young master from a well-educated family, all he could do was remain silent and obedient.

But no one knows what was the straw that broke the camel's back.

After several years of insomnia, sleepwalking, and pressure from a psychiatrist, He Yu, who was sent to bed early on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, finally broke out. When all the servants left the room, He Yu suddenly jumped out of bed.

He opened the window of the house with bare feet. His room was on the third floor, but he climbed out of the window regardless. He walked carefully along the eaves and finally reached the water pipe in the corner.

He grabbed the water pipe and slid down from the third floor, then ran like crazy towards the gate of the manor.

He didn't know where to go or what to do, but he just wanted to escape, escape from all this oppression...

After Su Ziwei came out of home, he walked a long way alone. Along the way, he saw the joy of people getting together during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He saw people carrying benches and moon cakes to admire the moon, and he saw children carrying lanterns.

They were running around on the street. Their mother was following behind, and several friends and neighbors were chatting in groups. They would shout a few words when the children ran away.

But no matter how far he runs, no one will call him, telling him to be careful and not running too fast...

Unknowingly, I came to an open space. This place was originally going to be developed into a park, but due to problems with the developer, the project was temporarily shelved, and it became a quiet place covered with weeds.

But it is really good to enjoy the moon in such an open place. There is no light pollution in the city, but you can see the moon clearly.

Su Ziwei found a few abandoned cement pillars, climbed up and sat down.

No need for friends, no need for family, no need for reunion. Su Ziwei hugged his knees and sat quietly, the silver rays of the moonlight falling on him, as if outlining a glowing outline.

At this moment, Su Zi heard the sound of rustling grass on the other side of the clearing.

He was startled and quickly raised his head to see a black figure running towards him.

"Who, who?" Su Ziwei was startled. There couldn't be any ghosts in the middle of the night! There were no lights nearby, so he couldn't see clearly who was coming. He was running so fast. It couldn't be anything.

It was a monster from an urban legend - Su Ziwei thought that if the black shadow ran towards him again, he would pick up the bricks on the ground and hit it!

Unexpectedly, the black shadow did not stop and was still running towards him.

"If you come here, I'll hit you!" Su Ziwei said and picked up the stone bricks from the construction site. At this moment, the black figure suddenly made a sound——

"Help! A mouse is chasing me!!"

"?" Su Ziwei was stunned and opened his eyes wide. The closer the black shadow got, the more clearly he could see the face illuminated by the moonlight. It was actually a human being. He was a boy about the same age as him.

It was He Yu. He Yu was wearing pajamas and bare feet, running with a look of horror on his face and shouting: "There are rats in the grass, there are rats!"

Su Ziwei was immediately amused: "Nonsense, there are not only rats here, but also cockroaches and centipedes!"

"Ah?" He Yu was shocked and jumped up randomly as if he had stepped on flames, fearing that he had actually stepped on a cockroach.

Su Ziwei laughed a few times and stretched out his hand towards He Yu: "Come on, come up."

Without thinking, He Yu grabbed Su Ziwei's hand and jumped onto the concrete pillar.

There was a rustle on the lawn for a while, and the shadow of the mouse quickly disappeared.

Su Ziwei burst out laughing: "You're a man and you're actually afraid of mice! Can you do that?"

He Yu was in shock. He patted his chest and stared at the grass. When he found that there was no movement, he sat down on the other side of the cement pillar, and his expression quickly returned to normal... In other words, he became expressionless, just like the one just now

He was not the one who was panicking. He Yu cleared his throat and said a little unnaturally: "There has never been such a thing as a mouse in my house. I have never seen it... I didn't expect it to be so ugly."

Su Ziwei snorted and looked at the boy next to him.

"Why did you run out without wearing shoes? You won't be chased, right?"

He Yu glanced at Su Ziwei with disgust: "Who would hunt down a child?"

Su Ziwei laughed and said: "Rat!"

He Yu: "..."

Before Su Zi had laughed enough, he looked up at the moon and said, "You don't run away from home like me, do you?"

He Yu didn't say a word. He was still staring at the lawn, fearing that another mouse would pop up soon.

Su Ziwei glanced sideways at the boy, suddenly raised his feet, took off his shoes, and handed them to him.

He Yu was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Su Ziwei said: "I'll give you some clothes. You're barefoot, so you shouldn't dare to go out again, right?"

He Yu was stunned for a while and said awkwardly: "Then what are you wearing?"

"I'm not afraid of mice." Su Ziwei patted his chest, "You can wear it, our feet should be about the same size."

He Yu then took Su Ziwei's shoes and put them on silently.

"So why did you run out alone?" Su Ziwei asked curiously, "I thought I was the only one who ran out during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

He Yu put on his shoes, shook his feet, and seemed to relax. He said, "Because I am not celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Su Zi did not hesitate for half a second, stood up in surprise, and said loudly: "Hey, what a coincidence! I can't do it either!"

"Oh." He Yu seemed uninterested in the fact that the people next to him couldn't celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Since you can't do it and I can't do it, we can spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together." Su Ziwei said excitedly, "I didn't say Mid-Autumn Festival, I said we can spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

Have fun!”

He Yu glanced at the people around him with disgust, and said in a low voice for a long time: "No."

"Ah?" Su Ziwei was slightly disappointed, "Why?"

He Yu stared at the shoes on his feet and said, "I can't get out."

Su Ziwei tilted his head, not understanding what the boy next to him meant.

The two sat in the open space for a while, and suddenly heard the sounds of cars, police cars, and crowds in the distance. Faintly, it seemed like someone was calling "Master."

Su Ziwei pointed to the light in the distance and asked, "Isn't he looking for you?"

He Yu shook his head, stood up and patted the dust on his body: "I'm leaving. How can I return these shoes to you?"

Su Ziwei shrugged indifferently: "It doesn't matter, there's no need to pay it back."

"Oh." He Yu glanced at Su Ziwei awkwardly, "...Thank you."

Su Ziwei smiled and said: "You're welcome."

Su Zi did not remember that the boy jumped off the concrete pillar and ran away in the other direction, quickly disappearing into the night. After that, did those who came to him catch him back?

It’s unknown.

This is the first Mid-Autumn Festival that Su Ziwei's father has spent alone since he married his stepmother.
