I'm getting shorter

Seven,

Lu Bo's exquisite appearance is much tired. There are many scratches on his body, and there are a few tooth marks on the 18k gold. I know that this must be a child's masterpiece.

"Long time no see." I was very excited, I was afraid that he would think of Yuai when he saw me.

"Ai." He rushed over suddenly and hugged me tightly.

I was confused, although he was very strong, but I still had reason, I struggled out and explained: "I am not Yuai, I am Lixiu, Yuai...he... .”

Lu Yuan shook his head, he hugged me again, I took his weight and took a few steps back, I found him crying.

He cried like a child, I could feel his grief, he choked up and said in my ear: "Ai, why, why did you leave me, you can be with whoever you want in the future, okay? good?"

I stood there stiffly, Lu Yuan said so, did he find out a long time ago?

"You, you already knew?" I turned pale.

Lu Yuan glanced at me flusteredly, a little embarrassed: "I knew it a long time ago, I knew it many years ago, I was really uncomfortable at that time, but after you left me, I found that nothing can be more uncomfortable than this, so , Ai, don't leave me."

Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me... These four words are repeated in my mind. It's only worth fifty cents.

"I'm neither Yuai nor Ai, you've got the wrong person." I smiled helplessly.

Lu Yuan shook his head: "I won't admit my mistake, you are Ai, don't leave Ai, okay?"

"I'm not Ai! I'm not Ai!" I yelled.

"Don't you remember? Ai, it's only been a few years, have you forgotten me? We've been together for 14 years!"

"I'm not, sorry." I turned around and walked away. It's not a good feeling. They can be together for 14 years, and my brother and I...

"Yuai!" he called from behind.

I didn't turn around, I said I wasn't, but even if I left, we still didn't see each other because we were in a metal pen case and it was just our two pens.

"Look at me... okay?" Lu Bo begged.

Back in time, I thought of the day my elder brother left, and I was also begging him to look at me.

He has indeed experienced many vicissitudes, I sighed, "I saw you, then what?"

"No more." He smiled at me, so reluctantly, I knew he was trying to please me, carefully.

I said "um", and hid in a remote corner, I am used to this position, I turned my back to him, thinking about the dead Yuai, I don't know where his body is, and I don't know how Lu Bo would recognize the wrong person .

"Why are you doing this?" I pointed to my head.

Lu Bo narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't know what I was talking about, "What's wrong with me?"

"You seem to be out of your mind." I said as gently as possible.

Lu Bo: ...

I got up, walked in front of him, and said seriously: "Lu Bo, listen carefully, I'm really not Yuai, I'm Lixiu, a person you hate very much, and most importantly, Yuai is dead , died five years ago."

"Hey, don't make trouble." He patted my head and smiled dotingly.

I stared closely at his expression, which coincided with the way he looked at Yuai when I first met him.

I turned my head, waved his hand away, and said decisively: "I'm not making trouble, I'm really not the person you like, he's a watch, you two are made for each other, always together, I'm at best... ...uh, your roommates."

Lu Bo smiled, with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, whatever you say, be good, go to sleep, you must be very tired when you just came here?"

I wanted to say I wasn't tired, but he gently pushed me forward. The strength was light but irresistible. I was really tired, so I went to sleep in the corner.

This time, I didn't dream of my eldest brother, but a fairy couple. I saw Yuai lying in Lu Bo's arms, and they laughed like no one else. In the dream, I was just a passer-by, so I just played a supporting role. .

"Are you awake, tired? Ai." He asked.

"Why are you here, can you stay away from me." I said.

"Okay." Lu Bo surrendered with both hands, took two steps back, but still smiled softly, as if I was playing a child's temper.

"Stay away from me, without my permission, you are not allowed to approach me within ten steps." I continued to increase, this is the first time I ordered people.

Lu Bo's smile froze for a second, and then burst out again, with a bit of sadness: "Well, it's all up to you."

I no longer look at him, but think about the old stories, I think of Pinocchio that sister paper said, I am not lying, the nose should not grow again.

Suddenly, a small hand broke my thoughts, and I was lifted out by the child and started to work.

It was the first official job in five years, and even though it was my life that was burning, I now find that it didn't feel bad.

The child is very naughty, he looks at me for a while, peels my skin for a while, and cuts me around with a knife for a while. What I can't stand the most is his snot.

Pencils bought by children are the most unfortunate.My brother told me then.

When I got back to the pencil case, I saw Lu Bo's distressed eyes, and the expression of worry and fear shocked me. I was trembling. For some reason, I took the initiative to say to him: "I'm fine."

"No, you have something to do," he said, looking me over, his voice increasingly frustrated, "you're getting shorter, you're going to get shorter, aren't you?"

I nodded: "Yes, I am a pencil, not a pen, and I am not a watch. I will get shorter and shorter, and my life will end accordingly, so I am not a fish, a fish is a watch." And, he Very valuable.

He suddenly ignored my order and hugged me violently. I felt his trembling. He was afraid. I was surprised: "Are you afraid?"

"Ah."

"What are you afraid of?" I asked.

Lu Bo was silent for a while, "I'm afraid of your death, Ai, I'm really afraid of your death."

Then my heart stopped. There are people in this world who really care about me and are afraid of my death. I always thought that I was alone. "I will not die. My words can be preserved for a long time as long as they are not erased .”

He looked at me, who was two heads shorter than him, and fell silent.

I can't stand people looking at me like this, making me look pitiful. Although I also feel that I lack a little luck, I don't want others to know, so I turned around twice with all my strength, leaving a space on the metal pen case. A little ink marks.

"Look, as long as there is no eraser, there will be traces of me in this world." I showed off, hoping to get his approval.

But Lu Bo didn't. He hugged me from behind, and his voice was very soft and magnetic: "Stop writing, I can see that what is left is good, but what is consumed is yours. Life."

I felt his temperature, and there was a surge of warmth in my heart, but I only kept it warm for three seconds, and quickly pushed him away, staring straight into his eyes, "I repeat, I am Lixiu, not Yuai. "

"Well, I know." He wasn't angry at my actions.

I looked at him suspiciously, "So?"

"So I'll go to work in the future." He patted my head and sat in a place about ten steps away.

The days to come were unremarkable, I knew he was watching me secretly from behind, and I didn’t want to say anything now, I was already convinced that he had amnesia, there was no one here who could prove it, so it would be useless to say it.

But I found that Lu Bo was obviously paying attention. Every time a child was about to pick up a pen, he would immediately stand in the middle. His golden appearance was very eye-catching, so almost 100% of the time, he was the one who took the pen.

I looked up at him, watched him being taken away, and said dryly, "Actually, you don't have to be like this."

He smiled, "Ai, I am willing."

The pencil case closed with a snap, and my world was dark again.

Eight,

This time probably passed for a long time, I guess it was about five days before Lu Bo came back.

But he was obviously a different person, full of energy, looking at me with disdain, as if looking at a stranger, he said coldly: "Why are you here?"

"Okay, long time no see, I've been here for half a month." I don't understand what he's doing, but it's always right to be careful.

He looked at me, his eyes seemed to shoot me through, but through his gaze, I guessed that he was thinking about Yuai.

After all, it is a seed of deep love, it is impossible to forget it so easily.I think.

He stopped talking to me, and I ignored him. We were both back to back, nestled in the corner, and no one disturbed the other.

"You, do you know that your brain is sick?" I broke the previous silence.

Lu Bo frowned, "What did you say?"

I turned around and said seriously: "You were mentally ill before, and you took me for a fool, but now you have regained your memory. I'm curious what's going on with you."

"You are the only one who is sick." Lu Yuan looked at me contemptuously, full of disbelief.

He doesn't believe it, so I won't say it anymore, it's not good for me anyway.

I thought he would recover his memory all the time, but then I was wrong again.

I watched him lose and recover his memory repeatedly, and finally came to a conclusion: he only recovered his memory when he just changed the ink, and the less ink, the worse the memory.

"Ai, I think you're a little short again. I haven't seen you so short two days ago." Lu Bo looked at me with concern.

I know he didn't change the ink, so the capacity is much less, and he lost his memory, "But, maybe it's your hallucination."

But actually I'm really short, and normal lubricious won't go to work for me.

I looked at myself who was getting shorter and shorter, and couldn't help sighing, the child had too much homework, and I only had four-fifths left.

"You lied to me, Ai, you lied to me, tell me why you did this," Lu Bo looked at me pitifully, "don't treat me like an outsider... okay?"

"You... oh." I did lie again, I can't count how many times.

Lu Bo came over, hugged me gently, and said softly, "I don't want to lose you again, really, be good, tell me what's going on."

"Are you caring about me, or about Ai?"

"You are Ai, and Ai is you, what's the difference?" He looked at me funny.

"It's different," I replied resolutely, "Is it me or Ai?"

"You, it's you, not Ai." He said in a gentle and doting voice.

I turned my head to look at him, my eyes were a little hot, "then you listen carefully, you will lose your memory, treat me as Ai, and you will recover every time you change the ink, and then treat me as a stranger, and I will go The work will be shortened."

"Ai, you're joking again." He patted my head again, as if I was born to be a joke.

"I'm not, and I'm not Ai, Lu Bo, I'm Lixiu, you've been calling the wrong person."

Lu Bo frowned, and let go of my hand, with a puzzled expression on his face: "What you said is true?"

"Yes, your lover is a mechanical watch, which is very beautiful and expensive, and I am a pencil. I was called a green hat by you before, and I am only worth fifty cents."

Lu Bo was a little farther away from me, he seemed to believe it, and his voice became a little cold: "Then how to prove it?"

I looked at him, maybe this was the last time he was nice to me, "Maybe you can try to write it down, it's smaller, children can't see it."

He looked at me suspiciously, and I replied to him not to be outdone. What I said was the truth, so there was no need to be afraid or sad.

"Are you really not Ai?" His eyes were complicated, filled with forbearance, despair, and a glimmer of hope.

"I..." I suddenly hesitated to speak, and somehow I didn't want to admit it. I knew it was wrong, but I was afraid that after answering, the only person in the world who remembered me and treated me well disappeared. .

"You're Ai, aren't you?" His eyes lit up, and he regained his former spirit.

I stared at him, then lowered my head again, feeling very tangled in my heart.

Lu Bo got closer to me, and his two big hands hugged me so tightly that I couldn't see through any gaps. His hands seemed to grab my heart, making me unable to dodge.

"Do you remember Sister Paper?" I asked.

"Can not remember."

I was a little lost, "Then do you remember Li Xiu?"

He scratched my nose and said softly: "Isn't Lixiu just you? You are Ai, and you are also Lixiu. Yuai is the name I gave you, and Lixiu was named by you, right? ?”

I stared blankly at his movements, and said firmly, "Yes, I am Yuai, and I am also Lixiu."

He laughed, and I laughed too. In my world, there is no longer just my eldest brother, there is one more person, but why does my heart hurt so much.
