Short Stories Before Bedtime

What is loneliness.

alone.

probably...

A carnival for one.

A one-man theater.

Dinner alone.

One person's scenery is seen by one person.

It's not that I haven't thought about blending in, but those unintentional alienation and the excitement of another world always make people feel overwhelmed and discouraged.

"That's their party, not mine."

"It's okay, I'm used to it, just be alone, it's fine, that's it."

"A person is more free."

The loneliness surrounded by a group of people is not as good as the loneliness of one person. In life, there are often some small and transparent people who live silently away from the crowd in corners that people can't see.

Wang Xiaomo is one of them.

Wang Xiaomo is a third-year student in University A. Because of his personality problem, he rented a house outside. Except for attending classes and shopping, he usually stays in his small apartment, doing activities in his own small world. Life is very comfortable.

I don't know where the aunt heard about Wang Xiaomo's renting a house, so she slapped her thigh.

"How can you let the child live outside alone? It's not safe. Little Mo, my aunt has a friend's friend's second uncle's cousin's younger sister's cousin's father's uncle who has a son across the road from your school. Turn the corner of the shopping mall opposite, go straight, turn right, go up the overpass, go down, turn right, go straight at a McDonald’s, turn left, walk straight down the sand, go up the overpass, go down, go straight left, turn left and go to the school.”

According to the thinking of science students, Wang Xiaomo said succinctly: "Is Mingshui Road C in?"

The aunt took a breath, "Yes."

In C, that is the best high school in city A. It is well-known throughout the country as a school for high-achieving students. It has a rate of 90.00% and above five every year. It is basically contracted by the provincial champion. Studying in C, one foot has already stepped into the threshold of the university. My aunt's friend's friend's second uncle's cousin's younger sister's cousin's father's uncle's son is quite good.

Wang Xiaomo praised: "Good!"

The aunt laughed, and looked at Wang Xiaomo lovingly with crow's feet eyes, and said, "It's pretty good, I know you young people have something to say together, and the aunt will talk to your mother later."

Classmate Xiao Mo looked blank, what did you say?What can I say?

A few days later, on a bright morning on the weekend, Wang Xiaomo, who was staying up late at night, was awakened by a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw big and small bags...

Exams, textbooks, workbooks...

It felt like suddenly returning to the black third year of high school that was dominated by the three-year college entrance examination and five-year simulation. A chill rose from the soles of the feet to the head, and then came out, shaking Xiao Mo who was sleeping in the dark, and woke up completely.

A hairy head sticks out from behind a pile of books, a glowing boy illuminated by the bright sun, smiling against the light, full of youthful vigor.

The boy opened his mouth and asked, "Excuse me, are you brother Wang Xiaomo?" His voice was a little hoarse due to puberty.

Wang Xiaomo silently grabbed his own chicken coop, moved the chevron back calmly, and said doubtfully, "Yes, I am Wang Xiaomo."

Wang Xiaomo pointed to the pile of books, "So what are you here for?"

Zhang Peng was surprised for a moment, then showed two cute canine teeth, and said with a smile: "Don't you know?" Then he put down the book, took out a piece of paper soaked in sweat from his school uniform pocket, and gave it to Wang Xiaomo, "My name is Wang Xiaomo." Zhang Peng, Auntie said, you can let me live with you, and it may take you a while."

Wang Xiaomo opened the paper, and the ink was a little smudged in some places.

In the past two years, it has not been solved with a phone call, and there are still people who write notes.

Zhang Peng looked at his eyes, understood the explanation, and said: "My mother wanted to call your mobile phone, but because your mobile phone has not been connected, so I can only write you a note."

Oh, yes, Wang Xiaomo said: "I'm sorry, I forgot to pay my mobile phone bill." Anyway, no one called, so I just ignored it.

The boy shyly shook his head, "No, no, I'm the one who's going to trouble you."

Wang Xiaomo called him in, brought him a pair of slippers, brought him a drink for the hot, smoking boy, sat on the sofa face to face, and then read what was written on the paper.

Roughly speaking, it is not safe for him to live alone. This high school student just needs a quiet environment to study, needs someone to guide his studies, and the five elements are in harmony, so he decided to let the child live here for a while. I hope Wang Xiaomo will take care of him during this time For a moment, to enlighten the child's thinking, the status of a college student can also make him relax, and then thank you, Barabara.

This is what my aunt said a few days ago.

Looking at the well-behaved little boy sitting in front of him, his own small space was inexplicably destroyed, and he felt a little irritable for no reason.

Not good at words, and couldn't find anything to say, Wang Xiaomo picked up Zhang Peng's pile of books, and said to him: "Go take a shower first, the bathroom is there." Wang Xiaomo lifted his chin to the corner of the room, " I'll take the book to your room for you first, because I didn't know you were coming in advance, so I didn't prepare anything, I will use it first, and I will go to the supermarket to buy it later."

Wang Xiaomo's family is a small capitalist, so the house he rented is quite big, with three bedrooms and one living room, not many things, spacious and bright.

The young man put down the cup, touched the back of his head, and said with a smile, "Okay." Wang Xiaomo's clear eyes flashed into Wang Xiaomo's, and wisps of sunlight gently hopped across his soft hair.

The awkwardness in Wang Xiaomo's heart weakened a bit.

Also... yes, there is one... who talks like this, quietly.

The high school knowledge has been put away for three years, and almost all of it is returned to the teacher. Since I want to help guide, I should go online to find information and review it first. Emma, ​​I am guiding the future CEO of the country. I really have face.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaomo smiled unconsciously, nodded to him, and turned around to help him put things away.

When Wang Xiaomo disappeared from sight around the corner, the innocent sunshine boy who was ignorant just a second ago had a shy smile on the corner of his mouth. There was no look in his eyes that he was afraid of because he was not used to the new environment just now. He slumped on the sofa, his whole body was evil And rebellious.

With slender and fair hands, he took out a mini mobile phone from his trouser pocket, opened it skillfully, and quickly typed a line of words on the dialog box.

"See you at the old place tonight."

After a while, the other party came back, "Didn't you get caught by your mother last time, why did you release him early this time?"

"She just ignored me and threw me to a stranger who couldn't beat me in eight lifetimes."

"Ask him to take care of you?"

Zhang Peng smiled disdainfully across the screen, and replied: "My mother didn't tell him anything, and he still thinks I'm an excellent student in C." "But so what if I know, my mother doesn't care If not me, who is he?"

The other party's tone was also a little relaxed, "Even if he is doing something, come out now, and see that you have been taken away by the old woman, those brats are very arrogant now."

The corners of Zhang Peng's mouth habitually raised up provocatively, showing a cold smile, and the phone quickly replied: "Don't worry, those people, take your time." He paused between his fingers, looked in Wang Xiaomo's direction with that cold smile, and smiled. I can't understand the meaning, as for this cute little brother, "It's rare to have such an enthusiastic audience, how can the performers leave the stage early."

The person on the other side of the screen felt a little cold when he saw this seemingly praiseworthy sentence. It is estimated that someone will suffer again.

The author has something to say:

I don’t know if you’ve ever had such an experience. It’s not easy for something to happen that excites you. You’re so excited that you have to tell others immediately, but after searching around, you don’t find anything. Really...someone you can talk about, excited. In the eyes of the throat, the smile froze on the face, and my heart seemed to have eaten coptis.

Some people look very cold, but in fact, maybe he (she) also yearns for a prosperous world in his heart. If one day, a person who usually looks very indifferent comes to you to complain, please give her (him) a hug, Because such people are generally very self-aware, and they are willing to keep everything in their hearts. She (he) is willing to tell you that it may be, really, unbearable.

This article is about such a little transparent person. It is written from a chicken soup article for the soul. I hope that the little transparent people in life can also meet their favorite half like the protagonist.
