Rebirth of the Aspirations of Choucheng
Chapter 28 The Gate
Lu Xiaoyan directly carried Ling Xi back to the side of the car, opened the door and stuffed it in, with simple and rough movements, as if Ling Xi was a bag of small potatoes just dug out of the mud.Then he went around to the other side and got into the car. He still sat there silently, smoking one cigarette after another, but his face was much calmer than before.
Ling Xi rubbed his buttocks and pursed his lips, paying attention to Lu Xiaoyan's every move. He could feel that Lu Xiaoyan's mood was not quite right, so he was extra tolerant towards those unknown and unreasonable pranks.He doesn't understand such things as comforting people, and he really doesn't know how to do it. He can only quietly shrink aside, pretending that he is a large handicraft decoration used to beautify the environment.
Looking casually at the storage box next to the seat, Ling Xi keenly found a crystal button stuck in the gap. Judging by the size, it should be for shirts.He sneaked a glance at Lu Xiaoyan up and down, and sure enough, two buttons were missing near the neckline of Lu Xiaoyan's shirt.Even if the thread is broken and the buttons fall off naturally, and they won't all fall off at the same time by chance, then the only explanation is that they were torn off, and it is very likely that Lu Xiaoyan did it himself.
After hesitating for a long time, Ling Xi hesitated and asked Lu Xiaoyan: "Are you... in trouble?"
Lu Xiaoyan rested his elbows on the car window, turned his head and looked at the setting sun that was gradually sinking into the horizon in the distance, the sea breeze was blowing head-on, carrying a damp, sticky, salty smell.Running into trouble?Not really, just ugly, musty, foul-smelling old stuff.He didn't want to say those things, he couldn't say them, he didn't know where to start, and there was no need to say them again.
After waiting for a long time without seeing an answer, Ling Xi probably already has the answer.He stretched out his hand to Lu Xiaoyan silently, paused a little when he was about to touch it, and finally mustered up his courage, grabbed Lu Xiaoyan's hand, and shook it firmly: "Don't be afraid, no matter how big it is, It will pass." He wanted to pass his power to Lu Xiaoyan in this way
Yes, no matter how big things are, they will pass, and the past cannot be changed. It is the most stupid and ridiculous behavior in the world to dwell on the past that cannot be changed.I have died once, what else is there to be afraid of?
Lu Xiaoyan looked back at Ling Xi, couldn't help but smile, although Ling Xi's words made sense, but he had a messy soft fur on his head, his big eyes blinked and blinked, his eyes were bright, he was clearly still a cute boy who hadn't grown up, But the weather-beaten perception of life is open and closed, which seems somewhat contrary to harmony.
After laughing, Lu Xiaoyan suddenly said to Ling Xi thoughtlessly but sincerely: "Ling Xi, thank you...thank you for being with me at that time."
Ling Xi's eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of doubts: "At that time?"
"Tsk, you don't know if you tell me." Lu Xiaoyan didn't bother to explain, and he couldn't explain it. He was a living person, with heartbeat, breathing, body temperature and shadows. How could he explain that he had died?
Ling Xi nodded with her mouth puffed up, and didn't ask any more questions.Thinking about it, there was someone in this world who needed his company at a certain moment, which was enough comfort for him—although he didn't know what Lu Xiaoyan was referring to.
Ling Xi enjoys this special feeling when getting along with Lu Xiaoyan. They both have a lot of unknowns about each other, but they don't need words to explain...
The sky gradually darkened, and the setting sun completely sank into the horizon, leaving only a pale golden afterglow at the end of the sea.The car is very quiet, so quiet that there are no distracting thoughts.
Ling Xi has practiced dancing for most of the day, and her physical strength is exhausted. Now she is nestled comfortably in the chair, and for some reason, she feels sleepy. She sits lazily and becomes softer and softer. She slides down slowly until she shrinks into a small ball. A long leg curled up there in aggrieved manner, rubbing back and forth in small increments like a caterpillar crawling on its back.Lu Xiaoyan didn't bother Ling Xi either, just watched him sitting there feeling sleepy, watched his head nod and nod, and finally fell asleep successfully.
Accompanied by Ling Xi's slow and long breathing, Lu Xiao seriously lit a new cigarette, took a few puffs lonelyly, then suddenly thought of something, took off his jacket and awkwardly covered Ling Xi with the cigarette in his mouth.The coat was pulled up a little high, covering Ling Xi's nose, probably feeling stuffy, Ling Xi let out a dissatisfied "hum", Lu Xiaoyan helped pull it down a little in time, and carefully tucked the neckline.
Ling Xi has a thin body and is more afraid of the cold than normal people. In his previous life, he used to keep a small blanket in the trunk of the car as a backup.Especially in summer, Lu Xiaoyan likes to set the temperature of the air conditioner very low, and Ling Xi wraps himself up tightly next to him, as if they lived in different seasons.Lu Xiaoyan realized belatedly that he knew many things about Ling Xi, but he never thought of making changes for Ling Xi.What would his life have been like if he had been nicer to Ling Xi at the beginning?Maybe it will end in failure in the end, still can't escape the teasing of fate, first he was tricked by his elder brother, then given up by his father, until he escaped at midnight and died tragically on the street... But at least before he died, when recalling the past, he was able to blurt out a Two happy moments...
I remember one time when Ling Xi went to a performance, the organizer gave him an astronomical telescope. Ling Xi liked it very much, so he suggested to Lu Xiaoyan to go to the beach to watch stars.Unfortunately, it was a cloudy night, and the two of them watched until late at night without seeing even a single star. Lu Xiaoyan wanted to give up, but Ling Xi was very stubborn to continue waiting. In the end, the two had a big fight and broke up unhappy. scattered.Another time, the two of them booked a plane ticket to travel to Japan, but Lu Xiaoyan misremembered the time and partyed with his friends in a nightclub until dawn.Ling Xi called him at the airport in the morning, but he didn't hear, Ling Xi flew away alone... After all, he had many chances to be close to happiness, but it's a pity that he missed it, and his life ended like this .
The cigarette case was full, Lu Xiaoyan carefully stuffed the last cigarette butt in, and then reached out to shake off the ash that was accidentally scattered on the hem of his shirt: "Ling Xi, do you still remember that you were also holding my hand at that time..." Ling Xi was in a deep sleep, completely unresponsive, Lu Xiaoyan leaned back on the chair and sighed, "The tree branch stuck in my stomach actually hurts, if it wasn't for you watching, I would have cried out. Really Shame, I always thought I was great, but I was played to death for no reason... But this time I will definitely live well, even if I die, I will die of old age on the bed after becoming famous. When that day really comes, you Come stay with me again, to be honest, after going through it once, I started to be afraid of death..."
Ling Xi looked very well-behaved when he was asleep, with the tip of his nose and chin slightly raised, and his face was round. Lu Xiaoyan couldn't help but stretched out his finger and poked Ling Xi's cheek. Ling Xi felt itchy, and unconsciously bent the corner of his mouth, A big dimple appeared next to it.Lu Xiaoyan tasted the sweetness, he stretched out his hand happily and poked it again, poked it again, poked it again, playing the "dimple game" was really enjoyable.
I don't know which stroke I didn't grasp the strength well, it was a little heavier, and it woke me up.As soon as Ling Xi opened his eyes, he saw Lu Xiaoyan's hand in front of him, with a smile still on his face, he asked in a daze, "What are you doing?"
Lu Xiaoyan quickly suppressed his smile, and scratched the side of Ling Xi's face with his hand a few times, his tone was full of disgust: "What's on your face that made it so dirty? Have you washed your face after dancing?"
Ling Xi believed it was true, smiled embarrassingly, and hurriedly raised his hand to wipe his face. Because of too much force, his facial features were pulled out of shape, and even his skin was rubbed red.Lu Xiaoyan kept his mouth tightly shut to prevent himself from laughing out loud, every time he succeeded in teasing Ling Xi, he felt an inexplicable pleasure.
Ling Xi rubbed his eyes and sat up, looked at the sky outside: "Brother Xiaoyan, what time is it?"
Lu Xiaoyan opened his cuffs and flicked his wrist, and read according to the pointer on the watch: "It's almost eight o'clock, you've slept for a long time. Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."
As he spoke, he was about to start the car, but Ling Xi held down his hand reaching for the key: "Wait, I haven't dug out my phone yet."
Lu Xiaoyan almost forgot about this, he followed Ling Xi out of the car slowly, and looked for the approximate direction by memory.The moon is very big, and the vision is fairly clear, but the whole beach looks the same as far as the eye can see, and there is no obvious reference, and it is impossible to tell where it has been excavated.
Ling Xi seemed to measure the length with his steps, found a similar position, and stepped on it lightly twice with his feet. There was a slight rustling sound, and several sand crabs crawled out of the small hole. While picking up the soaked sea sand with pliers and stuffing it into his mouth, he spit out sand balls the size of rice grains, one after another, dragging out a long string behind him.
Lu Xiaoyan was still watching with folded arms with great interest, but he finally laughed out loud when he saw this scene: "Hahaha, okay, don't look for it anymore, isn't it just a mobile phone, I'll buy you a new one..."
"Hush! Shhh!" Ling Xi put his index finger on his lips, quickly motioned to Lu Xiaoyan, and then frowned and walked around in circles, with a serious and serious expression, as if he had a plan in mind.
Just as Lu Xiaoyan was about to make fun of Ling Xi again, he saw Ling Xi pointing at his ear and pointing at him, his small white teeth gleaming.According to Ling Xi's gestures, it seemed that the meaning was to let him listen to something with his ears. Lu Xiaoyan pricked up his ears to hold his breath, and after a while, he really heard the seemingly invisible music sounding on the beach.
The sound of the music is getting louder and the style is extremely weird. It should be synthesized by Ling Xi himself using musical instruments and all kinds of messy audio materials. It is mixed with the sound of car horns, barking dogs, and... Lu Xiaoyan's voice ...
Following the voice, Ling Xi quickly found the target, and easily dug out his mobile phone. He triumphantly raised the mobile phone and shook it at Lu Xiaoyan: "It's time, the alarm clock is ringing!"
The mobile phone seemed to be deliberately provoking, and the noise became louder, "My English name is Sean, forget it, forget it, let's call it Lu Xiaoyan, woof woof... woof woof..." Lu Xiaoyan's face turned green when he heard it .
Ling Xi didn't care about this, he bounced back and pressed the power button, but unexpectedly the display screen turned on, and with the appearance of the brand icon, he excitedly counted down: "Three, two ,one!"
Then it synced with the phone and hummed the power-on prompt loudly...
On the way back to the urban area by car, Lu Xiaoyan asked Ling Xi what he would like to have for dinner, Ling Xi thought about it, and named a certain food stall's barbecued pork rice.
Lu Xiaoyan immediately thought of the greasy appearance of char siu rice and the dirty environment of the food stall, and he couldn't help showing embarrassment: "Eating char siew rice at night? If it's unhealthy, why not eat Japanese food."
But Ling Xi insisted on her choice: "What's so bad about char siu rice? When I was young, I didn't know how much I envied the workers who cut the char siew in the food stalls, envied them that they could have endless char siew every day, and a few pieces of char siu could make a big meal." A bowl of rice. So my grandfather asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I told him that I wanted to be a barbecued pork boy when I grew up."
Lu Xiaoyan rolled his eyelids and glanced at Ling Xi: "The ideal is so beautiful, why come here to sing?"
"It's because the reality is not as good as the ideal." Ling Xi really expressed regret. "At that time, my grandfather told me that the person who cuts the barbecued pork every day may not have the barbecued pork every day. If his business is good, he can eat as much barbecued pork as he wants. As much as you eat, you will get tired of eating sooner or later, and maybe you won’t have any appetite when you see it. If his business is not good, he will sell all his hard-earned char siu to make money, so he is not willing to eat casually. You see , Barbecued pork is always a dilemma, so I chose to sing, as long as I open my mouth, I can sing, and I will never feel tired.”
Lu Xiaoyan nodded seriously: "This choice is very wise. Otherwise, if you are so thin, you will always look like you can't eat enough, and you will drag the store down and praise you."
Ling Xi thought for a while, and her eyes lit up: "So... I not only saved the music scene, but also a barbecued pork restaurant!"
Although the char siew rice restaurant that Ling Xi appointed was not high-grade, it was also well-known and often appeared in gourmet magazines, but the stall was located in a night market, and there was no parking space around, so the two had to park their car far away place, and walk there.
There were a lot of pedestrians passing by, Lu Xiaoyan and Ling Xi were squeezed to the edge of the sidewalk, Ling Xi just kept his head down and fiddled with his mobile phone, and walked to the motorway, completely oblivious to the non-stop sound of car horns behind him, thanks to Lu Xiaoyan's sharp eyesight and quick hands Pulling him to his side, he was lucky not to be scratched by the speeding car.
"Are you a child? Playing with your mobile phone while walking, isn't it too late?" Lu Xiaoyan scolded fiercely, while grabbing his arm and pulling Ling Xi to the inside, blocking him with his body.
Ling Xi still didn't know what happened, her big eyes blinked in ignorance: "Ah?"
Lu Xiaoyan wanted to swear a few more words, but he forced himself to stop: "Forget it, let's play with you."
Everyone was in a hurry, and from time to time someone passed by and bumped into Ling Xi's shoulder. Lu Xiaoyan wrapped an arm around Ling Xi's back, hanging there, blocking any possible physical contact from the outside. Now Ling Xi Sure enough, it went a lot more steadily.
That's right, if he doesn't make a change first, what right does he have to change Ling Xi...
After walking a few steps, Ling Xi staggered and almost tripped him. He looked down and saw that the shoelaces were untied. He wanted to squat down and tie them, but was stopped by Lu Xiaoyan: "Wait a minute, there are many people here." Lu Xiaoyan looked around, and pulled him to an alley with fewer pedestrians, "Here, get it done quickly."
Ling Xi tied his shoelaces very slowly, halfway he thought it looked ugly, so he took it apart and tied it again. When he stood up, he glanced into the alley inadvertently, and saw several teenagers yelling fiercely around a boy in school uniform. What are they talking about? Those people are all about fourteen or fifteen years old, and they look like middle school students. Because the distance is a bit far away, they can't hear them very clearly. From the faint words, it should be inferred that there should be conflicts caused by girls.
Ling Xi tried to take two steps inward, only to see one of the guys with troubled hair slapped the side face of the boy in school uniform: "Look, what are you looking at, mentally retarded, pester Ah Xin to see you again Hit once!"
The boy in the school uniform was beaten so unsteadily that he hit the wall with a "boom", his nosebleeds dripped down, and his glasses fell to the ground and broke: "I didn't pester her... she came to find me by herself , she said she wanted to learn the piano, and asked me to introduce her to the teacher..."
The group of teenagers didn't listen to his explanation at all, and immediately rushed forward: "It's amazing to be able to play the piano! It's amazing to have money in the family! Who do you think you are!"
Ling Xi took a step to go in, but Lu Xiaoyan stopped him with his arms crossed: "Students are fighting for girls, don't meddle in your own business."
Ling Xi frowned, seemed to hesitate to speak, hesitated for a moment, then shook his chin at the bullied boy in the alley: "I...know him."
Seeing the boys in school uniform being beaten and kicked in the middle, Ling Xi pushed Lu Xiaoyan's hand away and walked over. He pushed the beating teenagers to the side a few times, and then condescendingly asked the boy squatting on the ground holding his head: "Ye Yitong, what's going on? Why did they beat you?"
Several teenagers were working hard, and they were very upset when someone suddenly came out and interrupted them: "Who are you? Where did you come from?" But looking at Ling Xi's height, and looking at the muscular Lu Xiaoyan behind Ling Xi, there was nothing wrong with him. Dare to act rashly.Facing real adults, they are still afraid of three points after all.
Lu Xiaoyan disdained to deal with a group of brats: "Get out, get out, or I'll call the police."
The teenagers spit a few times sternly, and quickly kissed the boy named Ye Yitong: "You wait! I won't settle accounts with you today!" After that, they glared at Lu Xiaoyan and Ling Xi and went ahead. Withdrawing, after withdrawing for a while, finally turned around and ran away.
It wasn't until the sound of chaotic footsteps disappeared that Ye Yitong leaned on the wall and stood up tremblingly: "Ling...that...brother..."
Lu Xiaoyan was taken aback for a moment, unable to figure out the origin of this Ye Yitong.Looking at Ling Xi again, Ling Xi couldn't see any emotion on his face: "Do you need to see a doctor?"
Ye Yitong shook his head bluntly, probably because he was frightened, and he didn't feel any pain for the time being.
Ling Xi rummaged through her pockets, found a pack of tissues and threw them to Ye Yitong: "Wipe yourself."
Ye Yitong took the tissue and was slowly wiping the nosebleeds on his lips and chin when he saw two middle-aged men, a man and a woman, rush in from the alley, and the woman staggered to Ye Yitong's side She hugged her into her arms, crying in her voice: "Tongtong, what did you do? Tell mom what happened? Didn't you say that you were waiting at the intersection? They said they would come to pick you up after tutoring, and mom couldn't wait." You are going to die of anxiety! If we hadn't asked the owner of the shop next door, we wouldn't know where to find you!"
The man was relatively calm. He first checked his son's injuries, then stood up and looked at Ling Xi vigilantly: "Why are you here?"
The woman didn't realize the existence of Ling Xi and Lu Xiaoyan until then. She quickly hugged her son tightly with her arms, turned her head and asked, "Why are you? What did you do to him? What do you want?"
Ling Xi ignored the other party's question, and just turned around to greet Lu Xiaoyan and said, "Let's go."
The man wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ye Yitong: "Dad, no, someone troubled me just now, it was Ling...he helped me out..."
When he reached the entrance of the alley, the man trotted after him: "Ling Xi, no matter what, I'm very happy that you still care about your family in your eyes. I'm here to say thank you for your brother."
Ling Xi didn't stop, didn't look at the other person, and walked straight forward: "Don't be ridiculous. In my eyes, he is just a 'human'..."
After coming out of the alley, Ling Xi kept silent.While waiting for the red light at the intersection, Lu Xiaoyan tried to ask Ling Xi: "That man just now..."
Ling Xi explained calmly: "His name is Ye Ming, Ye Yitong's father."
Lu Xiaoyan and Ye Ming didn't know each other well, but there were a lot of music people around him, and he generally knew that there was someone like Ye Ming in his circle.Of course he wasn't interested in Ye Ming at all, but after listening to the conversation between Ye Ming and Ling Xi, he had many question marks in his heart.
After struggling to find the right vocabulary, Lu Xiaoyan decided to go straight to the point: "Why did he say Ye Yitong is your younger brother?"
"What why?" Ling Xi opened his eyes and looked at Lu Xiaoyan, "Isn't he the younger brother?"
The more Lu Xiaoyan listened, the more confused he became: "Yes, he is the younger brother, but that's not what I asked."
When the green light came on, Ling Xi gave Lu Xiaoyan a push, and the two quickly walked across the zebra crossing side by side, and followed the crowd for a long distance before Ling Xi opened his mouth again: "I know what you want to ask. Ye Yitong is my younger brother, His father is naturally my father."
This answer was a bit sudden to Lu Xiaoyan: "Your father? You actually have a father? You mean that Ye Ming just now is your father?"
Ling Xi didn't seem to understand Lu Xiaoyan's excitement: "Is it strange? Everyone has a father, otherwise how would they be born?"
Lu Xiaoyan was a little annoyed that his words didn't convey his meaning: "That's not what I said, it's just...it's just that you never said that you have a father..."
No matter in his previous life or in this life, Lu Xiaoyan never knew that Ling Xi had other relatives besides his grandfather, because Ling Xi never mentioned it, or deliberately avoided mentioning it. Both have passed away.
Ling Xi lowered her eyelids and pursed her lips disapprovingly: "Everyone has a father, and there is nothing to show off, so why talk about it."
Lu Xiaoyan had too many questions in his heart: "Then you...why don't you live with them?"
"We lived together when we were young, probably..." Ling Xi tilted his head and thought for a while, "Before five years old. Later, Ye Ming and Xu Yuanyuan——Ye Yitong's mother got married and gave birth to Ye Yitong. Ye Ming sent me back to my grandfather."
Lu Xiaoyan instantly empathized: "Is it the stepmother's problem?"
Ling Xi thought for a while: "It's not all..."
The roadside store is holding an event, and the promoters are holding a bunch of balloons printed with logos and cute patterns, and distributing them to the young girls who pass by.Accidentally missed, more than a dozen balloons got out of hand, fluttering and flying upwards, Ling Xi's gaze was on the balloons rising up little by little, with his head and neck raised high, his eyes shining brightly, until the balloons disappeared in the sky crowded by tall buildings Compressed into a narrow strip of night sky.
There are some things he doesn't want to tell others, but Lu Xiaoyan doesn't seem to be anyone else to him: "Xu Yuanyuan had a cat when she was young, it was very fat and mischievous. When there was no one at home, it liked to wreak havoc everywhere. The door frame of the sofa cabinet was scratched everywhere it could be scratched. I hate it very much, but Ye Ming and Xu Yuanyuan always protect it and don't let me teach it, let alone hit it. One day it sneaked into me room, jumped on the table, knocked my toy baby piano to the floor and broke it. The piano was a gift from my mother and it was my favorite thing. I was so angry that I lifted it up. I went to the window to scare it, but I didn’t expect it to grab me suddenly, it hurt so much, I couldn’t help letting go, and it fell down..." Ling Xi lowered her head and remained silent for a while, "At first I didn’t dare Speaking out, adults say that cats have nine lives. I thought it couldn’t die, and I wanted to wait for it to come back. Later, Ye Ming and Xu Yuanyuan found that the cat was missing, and the whole family went out to look for it... The cat could have been immortal , but when it fell, it happened to hang on the iron railing, its belly was cut, and its internal organs flowed all over the floor, all blood..."
"So... it's because of that cat?" Lu Xiaoyan seemed to understand the reason why Ling Xi was so afraid of cats.
Ling Xi shook her head: "At that time, Ye Yitong was just born, and she was sleeping on the crib, a small lump, not much bigger than a cat...They were afraid that I would throw Ye Yitong down the stairs too..."
Lu Xiaoyan felt sour for a while, looked elsewhere and was silent for a long time, then smiled wryly and muttered to himself: "Let me just say, we shouldn't feel sorry for each other, we should depend on each other."
Ling Xi also smiled slightly: "Who said, I am better than you, and my mother is still alive."
Lu Xiaoyan suddenly didn't dare to ask any more questions: "Then... where's your mother?"
"My mother, she... um..." Ling Xi narrowed her eyes and thought for a long time, "She got lost. She left home when I was born. Today I am 19 years old, and she still can't find her."
Seeing that Lu Xiaoyan was very confused, Ling Xi explained with a smile: "I heard from Ye Ming that he and my mother were together when they were in college, and lived together unmarried behind their grandfather's back, and then I was born. I just found out that my mother was pregnant At that time, Ye Ming didn’t really want a child. It was my mother who insisted on giving birth to me. The two quarreled several times over this, and they didn’t even get married. Later, my mother met a record company owner and wanted to find her. Japan was developing, she discussed with Ye Ming to go to Japan together, but Ye Ming refused, so she left by herself. When she left, she took all the savings of both Ye Ming and me, leaving me behind. "
Lu Xiaoyan smacked his lips: "No wonder... your father must have hated her..."
"Yes, I have hated her for 19 years." Ling Xi acted very relaxed, as if he had nothing to do with him at all, "But it's strange, I don't hate her at all. She is the one who caused the trouble, the most capricious, the least Responsible guy, but I can't explain why, I'm always full of fantasies about her, hoping to see her one day. Probably people like to add beautiful assumptions to things that are out of reach, just like Worshiping someone as an idol is like beautifying him consciously or unconsciously in my heart. Sometimes I can't help but think, if I really see her one day, what should I say in the first sentence? How should I introduce myself , will it appear both provocative and humorous?"
Lu Xiaoyan stared at Ling Xi for a while, and couldn't help but reach out and rub the messy hair on Ling Xi's head: "It's been 19 years, and she hasn't come back to look for you, maybe she doesn't want to come back to look for you at all."
He really wanted to comfort Ling Xi gently, that his wish would definitely come true, if he persisted in waiting, that day would surely come... But he didn't want Ling Xi to live in false self-comfort.At least in the last life until the day of his death, Ling Xi couldn't see his mother.
Regarding the truth in Lu Xiaoyan's mouth, Ling Xi didn't care at all: "That's okay, I can go to her."
Lu Xiaoyan felt that Ling Xi's stubbornness was unreasonable: "Don't you think she actually forgot about you?"
Ling Xi tilted her head and thought for a while, and insisted on making up a reason for herself: "Maybe she lost her memory, just like in TV dramas, accidentally bumped her head, or had a high fever and hurt her memory nerves, in short, what happened before I don’t remember, I don’t remember having a child like me.”
"Ha," Lu Xiaoyan rolled his eyes and shook his head, "Ling Xi, is it interesting to lie to yourself?"
Ling Xi explained to him solemnly: "I'm not lying to myself, what I imagined is just one of countless possibilities."
Lu Xiaoyan also couldn't explain why he would have trouble with a child: "What if it's not?"
Ling Xi bit her lips and thought for a while: "Then save the air ticket and eat more bowls of barbecued pork rice."
Fitting the occasion, he yelled after "Gulu" alone, and managed to amused Lu Xiaoyan again: "Let's go, go eat barbecued pork rice."
Ling Xi speeded up her pace obediently: "Brother Xiaoyan, I want to add roast goose legs to my barbecued pork rice."
Lu Xiaoyan was very generous: "I'll add two more for you!"
After dinner, Lu Xiaoyan drove Ling Xi to the apartment downstairs as usual, the car was parked on the side of the road, Ling Xi dawdled and did not open the door and leave as usual.After bowing his head and pondering for a moment, he himself smiled shyly, then said hesitatingly: "Brother Xiaoyan, I want to ask you something, actually... are you... are you..."
At this stall, Lu Xiaoyan's cell phone rang. He picked it up to look at the caller ID, waved his hand to signal Ling Xi to wait a moment, then picked up the phone and listened carefully, answering a few short words without knowing it.
Ling Xi's effort to gather enough strength was abruptly interrupted. After sitting and waiting for a few minutes, he couldn't help becoming more and more embarrassed. Finally, he hurriedly greeted Lu Xiaoyan with hand gestures, and quickly jumped off as if he was running away. Car, I didn't pay attention when I went up the steps, and I almost tripped over and got eaten|shit.
Except for grandpa, this was the first time he talked so much with people, and it was also the first time he always had something to say when talking with people.What kind of person is Lu Xiaoyan?He doesn't know much.What does Lu Xiaoyan mean to him?He couldn't say very clearly either.However, the appearance of Lu Xiaoyan seemed to open a door in front of him. Fresh air, warm sunshine, bright purples and reds, laughter and laughter all came in through this door, making him suddenly enlightened.
But there is another sentence, a very important sentence, which he wanted to ask but couldn't ask... Forget it, other people's answers are not important, as long as I already have the answer in my heart, that's enough...
Ling Xi rubbed his buttocks and pursed his lips, paying attention to Lu Xiaoyan's every move. He could feel that Lu Xiaoyan's mood was not quite right, so he was extra tolerant towards those unknown and unreasonable pranks.He doesn't understand such things as comforting people, and he really doesn't know how to do it. He can only quietly shrink aside, pretending that he is a large handicraft decoration used to beautify the environment.
Looking casually at the storage box next to the seat, Ling Xi keenly found a crystal button stuck in the gap. Judging by the size, it should be for shirts.He sneaked a glance at Lu Xiaoyan up and down, and sure enough, two buttons were missing near the neckline of Lu Xiaoyan's shirt.Even if the thread is broken and the buttons fall off naturally, and they won't all fall off at the same time by chance, then the only explanation is that they were torn off, and it is very likely that Lu Xiaoyan did it himself.
After hesitating for a long time, Ling Xi hesitated and asked Lu Xiaoyan: "Are you... in trouble?"
Lu Xiaoyan rested his elbows on the car window, turned his head and looked at the setting sun that was gradually sinking into the horizon in the distance, the sea breeze was blowing head-on, carrying a damp, sticky, salty smell.Running into trouble?Not really, just ugly, musty, foul-smelling old stuff.He didn't want to say those things, he couldn't say them, he didn't know where to start, and there was no need to say them again.
After waiting for a long time without seeing an answer, Ling Xi probably already has the answer.He stretched out his hand to Lu Xiaoyan silently, paused a little when he was about to touch it, and finally mustered up his courage, grabbed Lu Xiaoyan's hand, and shook it firmly: "Don't be afraid, no matter how big it is, It will pass." He wanted to pass his power to Lu Xiaoyan in this way
Yes, no matter how big things are, they will pass, and the past cannot be changed. It is the most stupid and ridiculous behavior in the world to dwell on the past that cannot be changed.I have died once, what else is there to be afraid of?
Lu Xiaoyan looked back at Ling Xi, couldn't help but smile, although Ling Xi's words made sense, but he had a messy soft fur on his head, his big eyes blinked and blinked, his eyes were bright, he was clearly still a cute boy who hadn't grown up, But the weather-beaten perception of life is open and closed, which seems somewhat contrary to harmony.
After laughing, Lu Xiaoyan suddenly said to Ling Xi thoughtlessly but sincerely: "Ling Xi, thank you...thank you for being with me at that time."
Ling Xi's eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of doubts: "At that time?"
"Tsk, you don't know if you tell me." Lu Xiaoyan didn't bother to explain, and he couldn't explain it. He was a living person, with heartbeat, breathing, body temperature and shadows. How could he explain that he had died?
Ling Xi nodded with her mouth puffed up, and didn't ask any more questions.Thinking about it, there was someone in this world who needed his company at a certain moment, which was enough comfort for him—although he didn't know what Lu Xiaoyan was referring to.
Ling Xi enjoys this special feeling when getting along with Lu Xiaoyan. They both have a lot of unknowns about each other, but they don't need words to explain...
The sky gradually darkened, and the setting sun completely sank into the horizon, leaving only a pale golden afterglow at the end of the sea.The car is very quiet, so quiet that there are no distracting thoughts.
Ling Xi has practiced dancing for most of the day, and her physical strength is exhausted. Now she is nestled comfortably in the chair, and for some reason, she feels sleepy. She sits lazily and becomes softer and softer. She slides down slowly until she shrinks into a small ball. A long leg curled up there in aggrieved manner, rubbing back and forth in small increments like a caterpillar crawling on its back.Lu Xiaoyan didn't bother Ling Xi either, just watched him sitting there feeling sleepy, watched his head nod and nod, and finally fell asleep successfully.
Accompanied by Ling Xi's slow and long breathing, Lu Xiao seriously lit a new cigarette, took a few puffs lonelyly, then suddenly thought of something, took off his jacket and awkwardly covered Ling Xi with the cigarette in his mouth.The coat was pulled up a little high, covering Ling Xi's nose, probably feeling stuffy, Ling Xi let out a dissatisfied "hum", Lu Xiaoyan helped pull it down a little in time, and carefully tucked the neckline.
Ling Xi has a thin body and is more afraid of the cold than normal people. In his previous life, he used to keep a small blanket in the trunk of the car as a backup.Especially in summer, Lu Xiaoyan likes to set the temperature of the air conditioner very low, and Ling Xi wraps himself up tightly next to him, as if they lived in different seasons.Lu Xiaoyan realized belatedly that he knew many things about Ling Xi, but he never thought of making changes for Ling Xi.What would his life have been like if he had been nicer to Ling Xi at the beginning?Maybe it will end in failure in the end, still can't escape the teasing of fate, first he was tricked by his elder brother, then given up by his father, until he escaped at midnight and died tragically on the street... But at least before he died, when recalling the past, he was able to blurt out a Two happy moments...
I remember one time when Ling Xi went to a performance, the organizer gave him an astronomical telescope. Ling Xi liked it very much, so he suggested to Lu Xiaoyan to go to the beach to watch stars.Unfortunately, it was a cloudy night, and the two of them watched until late at night without seeing even a single star. Lu Xiaoyan wanted to give up, but Ling Xi was very stubborn to continue waiting. In the end, the two had a big fight and broke up unhappy. scattered.Another time, the two of them booked a plane ticket to travel to Japan, but Lu Xiaoyan misremembered the time and partyed with his friends in a nightclub until dawn.Ling Xi called him at the airport in the morning, but he didn't hear, Ling Xi flew away alone... After all, he had many chances to be close to happiness, but it's a pity that he missed it, and his life ended like this .
The cigarette case was full, Lu Xiaoyan carefully stuffed the last cigarette butt in, and then reached out to shake off the ash that was accidentally scattered on the hem of his shirt: "Ling Xi, do you still remember that you were also holding my hand at that time..." Ling Xi was in a deep sleep, completely unresponsive, Lu Xiaoyan leaned back on the chair and sighed, "The tree branch stuck in my stomach actually hurts, if it wasn't for you watching, I would have cried out. Really Shame, I always thought I was great, but I was played to death for no reason... But this time I will definitely live well, even if I die, I will die of old age on the bed after becoming famous. When that day really comes, you Come stay with me again, to be honest, after going through it once, I started to be afraid of death..."
Ling Xi looked very well-behaved when he was asleep, with the tip of his nose and chin slightly raised, and his face was round. Lu Xiaoyan couldn't help but stretched out his finger and poked Ling Xi's cheek. Ling Xi felt itchy, and unconsciously bent the corner of his mouth, A big dimple appeared next to it.Lu Xiaoyan tasted the sweetness, he stretched out his hand happily and poked it again, poked it again, poked it again, playing the "dimple game" was really enjoyable.
I don't know which stroke I didn't grasp the strength well, it was a little heavier, and it woke me up.As soon as Ling Xi opened his eyes, he saw Lu Xiaoyan's hand in front of him, with a smile still on his face, he asked in a daze, "What are you doing?"
Lu Xiaoyan quickly suppressed his smile, and scratched the side of Ling Xi's face with his hand a few times, his tone was full of disgust: "What's on your face that made it so dirty? Have you washed your face after dancing?"
Ling Xi believed it was true, smiled embarrassingly, and hurriedly raised his hand to wipe his face. Because of too much force, his facial features were pulled out of shape, and even his skin was rubbed red.Lu Xiaoyan kept his mouth tightly shut to prevent himself from laughing out loud, every time he succeeded in teasing Ling Xi, he felt an inexplicable pleasure.
Ling Xi rubbed his eyes and sat up, looked at the sky outside: "Brother Xiaoyan, what time is it?"
Lu Xiaoyan opened his cuffs and flicked his wrist, and read according to the pointer on the watch: "It's almost eight o'clock, you've slept for a long time. Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."
As he spoke, he was about to start the car, but Ling Xi held down his hand reaching for the key: "Wait, I haven't dug out my phone yet."
Lu Xiaoyan almost forgot about this, he followed Ling Xi out of the car slowly, and looked for the approximate direction by memory.The moon is very big, and the vision is fairly clear, but the whole beach looks the same as far as the eye can see, and there is no obvious reference, and it is impossible to tell where it has been excavated.
Ling Xi seemed to measure the length with his steps, found a similar position, and stepped on it lightly twice with his feet. There was a slight rustling sound, and several sand crabs crawled out of the small hole. While picking up the soaked sea sand with pliers and stuffing it into his mouth, he spit out sand balls the size of rice grains, one after another, dragging out a long string behind him.
Lu Xiaoyan was still watching with folded arms with great interest, but he finally laughed out loud when he saw this scene: "Hahaha, okay, don't look for it anymore, isn't it just a mobile phone, I'll buy you a new one..."
"Hush! Shhh!" Ling Xi put his index finger on his lips, quickly motioned to Lu Xiaoyan, and then frowned and walked around in circles, with a serious and serious expression, as if he had a plan in mind.
Just as Lu Xiaoyan was about to make fun of Ling Xi again, he saw Ling Xi pointing at his ear and pointing at him, his small white teeth gleaming.According to Ling Xi's gestures, it seemed that the meaning was to let him listen to something with his ears. Lu Xiaoyan pricked up his ears to hold his breath, and after a while, he really heard the seemingly invisible music sounding on the beach.
The sound of the music is getting louder and the style is extremely weird. It should be synthesized by Ling Xi himself using musical instruments and all kinds of messy audio materials. It is mixed with the sound of car horns, barking dogs, and... Lu Xiaoyan's voice ...
Following the voice, Ling Xi quickly found the target, and easily dug out his mobile phone. He triumphantly raised the mobile phone and shook it at Lu Xiaoyan: "It's time, the alarm clock is ringing!"
The mobile phone seemed to be deliberately provoking, and the noise became louder, "My English name is Sean, forget it, forget it, let's call it Lu Xiaoyan, woof woof... woof woof..." Lu Xiaoyan's face turned green when he heard it .
Ling Xi didn't care about this, he bounced back and pressed the power button, but unexpectedly the display screen turned on, and with the appearance of the brand icon, he excitedly counted down: "Three, two ,one!"
Then it synced with the phone and hummed the power-on prompt loudly...
On the way back to the urban area by car, Lu Xiaoyan asked Ling Xi what he would like to have for dinner, Ling Xi thought about it, and named a certain food stall's barbecued pork rice.
Lu Xiaoyan immediately thought of the greasy appearance of char siu rice and the dirty environment of the food stall, and he couldn't help showing embarrassment: "Eating char siew rice at night? If it's unhealthy, why not eat Japanese food."
But Ling Xi insisted on her choice: "What's so bad about char siu rice? When I was young, I didn't know how much I envied the workers who cut the char siew in the food stalls, envied them that they could have endless char siew every day, and a few pieces of char siu could make a big meal." A bowl of rice. So my grandfather asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I told him that I wanted to be a barbecued pork boy when I grew up."
Lu Xiaoyan rolled his eyelids and glanced at Ling Xi: "The ideal is so beautiful, why come here to sing?"
"It's because the reality is not as good as the ideal." Ling Xi really expressed regret. "At that time, my grandfather told me that the person who cuts the barbecued pork every day may not have the barbecued pork every day. If his business is good, he can eat as much barbecued pork as he wants. As much as you eat, you will get tired of eating sooner or later, and maybe you won’t have any appetite when you see it. If his business is not good, he will sell all his hard-earned char siu to make money, so he is not willing to eat casually. You see , Barbecued pork is always a dilemma, so I chose to sing, as long as I open my mouth, I can sing, and I will never feel tired.”
Lu Xiaoyan nodded seriously: "This choice is very wise. Otherwise, if you are so thin, you will always look like you can't eat enough, and you will drag the store down and praise you."
Ling Xi thought for a while, and her eyes lit up: "So... I not only saved the music scene, but also a barbecued pork restaurant!"
Although the char siew rice restaurant that Ling Xi appointed was not high-grade, it was also well-known and often appeared in gourmet magazines, but the stall was located in a night market, and there was no parking space around, so the two had to park their car far away place, and walk there.
There were a lot of pedestrians passing by, Lu Xiaoyan and Ling Xi were squeezed to the edge of the sidewalk, Ling Xi just kept his head down and fiddled with his mobile phone, and walked to the motorway, completely oblivious to the non-stop sound of car horns behind him, thanks to Lu Xiaoyan's sharp eyesight and quick hands Pulling him to his side, he was lucky not to be scratched by the speeding car.
"Are you a child? Playing with your mobile phone while walking, isn't it too late?" Lu Xiaoyan scolded fiercely, while grabbing his arm and pulling Ling Xi to the inside, blocking him with his body.
Ling Xi still didn't know what happened, her big eyes blinked in ignorance: "Ah?"
Lu Xiaoyan wanted to swear a few more words, but he forced himself to stop: "Forget it, let's play with you."
Everyone was in a hurry, and from time to time someone passed by and bumped into Ling Xi's shoulder. Lu Xiaoyan wrapped an arm around Ling Xi's back, hanging there, blocking any possible physical contact from the outside. Now Ling Xi Sure enough, it went a lot more steadily.
That's right, if he doesn't make a change first, what right does he have to change Ling Xi...
After walking a few steps, Ling Xi staggered and almost tripped him. He looked down and saw that the shoelaces were untied. He wanted to squat down and tie them, but was stopped by Lu Xiaoyan: "Wait a minute, there are many people here." Lu Xiaoyan looked around, and pulled him to an alley with fewer pedestrians, "Here, get it done quickly."
Ling Xi tied his shoelaces very slowly, halfway he thought it looked ugly, so he took it apart and tied it again. When he stood up, he glanced into the alley inadvertently, and saw several teenagers yelling fiercely around a boy in school uniform. What are they talking about? Those people are all about fourteen or fifteen years old, and they look like middle school students. Because the distance is a bit far away, they can't hear them very clearly. From the faint words, it should be inferred that there should be conflicts caused by girls.
Ling Xi tried to take two steps inward, only to see one of the guys with troubled hair slapped the side face of the boy in school uniform: "Look, what are you looking at, mentally retarded, pester Ah Xin to see you again Hit once!"
The boy in the school uniform was beaten so unsteadily that he hit the wall with a "boom", his nosebleeds dripped down, and his glasses fell to the ground and broke: "I didn't pester her... she came to find me by herself , she said she wanted to learn the piano, and asked me to introduce her to the teacher..."
The group of teenagers didn't listen to his explanation at all, and immediately rushed forward: "It's amazing to be able to play the piano! It's amazing to have money in the family! Who do you think you are!"
Ling Xi took a step to go in, but Lu Xiaoyan stopped him with his arms crossed: "Students are fighting for girls, don't meddle in your own business."
Ling Xi frowned, seemed to hesitate to speak, hesitated for a moment, then shook his chin at the bullied boy in the alley: "I...know him."
Seeing the boys in school uniform being beaten and kicked in the middle, Ling Xi pushed Lu Xiaoyan's hand away and walked over. He pushed the beating teenagers to the side a few times, and then condescendingly asked the boy squatting on the ground holding his head: "Ye Yitong, what's going on? Why did they beat you?"
Several teenagers were working hard, and they were very upset when someone suddenly came out and interrupted them: "Who are you? Where did you come from?" But looking at Ling Xi's height, and looking at the muscular Lu Xiaoyan behind Ling Xi, there was nothing wrong with him. Dare to act rashly.Facing real adults, they are still afraid of three points after all.
Lu Xiaoyan disdained to deal with a group of brats: "Get out, get out, or I'll call the police."
The teenagers spit a few times sternly, and quickly kissed the boy named Ye Yitong: "You wait! I won't settle accounts with you today!" After that, they glared at Lu Xiaoyan and Ling Xi and went ahead. Withdrawing, after withdrawing for a while, finally turned around and ran away.
It wasn't until the sound of chaotic footsteps disappeared that Ye Yitong leaned on the wall and stood up tremblingly: "Ling...that...brother..."
Lu Xiaoyan was taken aback for a moment, unable to figure out the origin of this Ye Yitong.Looking at Ling Xi again, Ling Xi couldn't see any emotion on his face: "Do you need to see a doctor?"
Ye Yitong shook his head bluntly, probably because he was frightened, and he didn't feel any pain for the time being.
Ling Xi rummaged through her pockets, found a pack of tissues and threw them to Ye Yitong: "Wipe yourself."
Ye Yitong took the tissue and was slowly wiping the nosebleeds on his lips and chin when he saw two middle-aged men, a man and a woman, rush in from the alley, and the woman staggered to Ye Yitong's side She hugged her into her arms, crying in her voice: "Tongtong, what did you do? Tell mom what happened? Didn't you say that you were waiting at the intersection? They said they would come to pick you up after tutoring, and mom couldn't wait." You are going to die of anxiety! If we hadn't asked the owner of the shop next door, we wouldn't know where to find you!"
The man was relatively calm. He first checked his son's injuries, then stood up and looked at Ling Xi vigilantly: "Why are you here?"
The woman didn't realize the existence of Ling Xi and Lu Xiaoyan until then. She quickly hugged her son tightly with her arms, turned her head and asked, "Why are you? What did you do to him? What do you want?"
Ling Xi ignored the other party's question, and just turned around to greet Lu Xiaoyan and said, "Let's go."
The man wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ye Yitong: "Dad, no, someone troubled me just now, it was Ling...he helped me out..."
When he reached the entrance of the alley, the man trotted after him: "Ling Xi, no matter what, I'm very happy that you still care about your family in your eyes. I'm here to say thank you for your brother."
Ling Xi didn't stop, didn't look at the other person, and walked straight forward: "Don't be ridiculous. In my eyes, he is just a 'human'..."
After coming out of the alley, Ling Xi kept silent.While waiting for the red light at the intersection, Lu Xiaoyan tried to ask Ling Xi: "That man just now..."
Ling Xi explained calmly: "His name is Ye Ming, Ye Yitong's father."
Lu Xiaoyan and Ye Ming didn't know each other well, but there were a lot of music people around him, and he generally knew that there was someone like Ye Ming in his circle.Of course he wasn't interested in Ye Ming at all, but after listening to the conversation between Ye Ming and Ling Xi, he had many question marks in his heart.
After struggling to find the right vocabulary, Lu Xiaoyan decided to go straight to the point: "Why did he say Ye Yitong is your younger brother?"
"What why?" Ling Xi opened his eyes and looked at Lu Xiaoyan, "Isn't he the younger brother?"
The more Lu Xiaoyan listened, the more confused he became: "Yes, he is the younger brother, but that's not what I asked."
When the green light came on, Ling Xi gave Lu Xiaoyan a push, and the two quickly walked across the zebra crossing side by side, and followed the crowd for a long distance before Ling Xi opened his mouth again: "I know what you want to ask. Ye Yitong is my younger brother, His father is naturally my father."
This answer was a bit sudden to Lu Xiaoyan: "Your father? You actually have a father? You mean that Ye Ming just now is your father?"
Ling Xi didn't seem to understand Lu Xiaoyan's excitement: "Is it strange? Everyone has a father, otherwise how would they be born?"
Lu Xiaoyan was a little annoyed that his words didn't convey his meaning: "That's not what I said, it's just...it's just that you never said that you have a father..."
No matter in his previous life or in this life, Lu Xiaoyan never knew that Ling Xi had other relatives besides his grandfather, because Ling Xi never mentioned it, or deliberately avoided mentioning it. Both have passed away.
Ling Xi lowered her eyelids and pursed her lips disapprovingly: "Everyone has a father, and there is nothing to show off, so why talk about it."
Lu Xiaoyan had too many questions in his heart: "Then you...why don't you live with them?"
"We lived together when we were young, probably..." Ling Xi tilted his head and thought for a while, "Before five years old. Later, Ye Ming and Xu Yuanyuan——Ye Yitong's mother got married and gave birth to Ye Yitong. Ye Ming sent me back to my grandfather."
Lu Xiaoyan instantly empathized: "Is it the stepmother's problem?"
Ling Xi thought for a while: "It's not all..."
The roadside store is holding an event, and the promoters are holding a bunch of balloons printed with logos and cute patterns, and distributing them to the young girls who pass by.Accidentally missed, more than a dozen balloons got out of hand, fluttering and flying upwards, Ling Xi's gaze was on the balloons rising up little by little, with his head and neck raised high, his eyes shining brightly, until the balloons disappeared in the sky crowded by tall buildings Compressed into a narrow strip of night sky.
There are some things he doesn't want to tell others, but Lu Xiaoyan doesn't seem to be anyone else to him: "Xu Yuanyuan had a cat when she was young, it was very fat and mischievous. When there was no one at home, it liked to wreak havoc everywhere. The door frame of the sofa cabinet was scratched everywhere it could be scratched. I hate it very much, but Ye Ming and Xu Yuanyuan always protect it and don't let me teach it, let alone hit it. One day it sneaked into me room, jumped on the table, knocked my toy baby piano to the floor and broke it. The piano was a gift from my mother and it was my favorite thing. I was so angry that I lifted it up. I went to the window to scare it, but I didn’t expect it to grab me suddenly, it hurt so much, I couldn’t help letting go, and it fell down..." Ling Xi lowered her head and remained silent for a while, "At first I didn’t dare Speaking out, adults say that cats have nine lives. I thought it couldn’t die, and I wanted to wait for it to come back. Later, Ye Ming and Xu Yuanyuan found that the cat was missing, and the whole family went out to look for it... The cat could have been immortal , but when it fell, it happened to hang on the iron railing, its belly was cut, and its internal organs flowed all over the floor, all blood..."
"So... it's because of that cat?" Lu Xiaoyan seemed to understand the reason why Ling Xi was so afraid of cats.
Ling Xi shook her head: "At that time, Ye Yitong was just born, and she was sleeping on the crib, a small lump, not much bigger than a cat...They were afraid that I would throw Ye Yitong down the stairs too..."
Lu Xiaoyan felt sour for a while, looked elsewhere and was silent for a long time, then smiled wryly and muttered to himself: "Let me just say, we shouldn't feel sorry for each other, we should depend on each other."
Ling Xi also smiled slightly: "Who said, I am better than you, and my mother is still alive."
Lu Xiaoyan suddenly didn't dare to ask any more questions: "Then... where's your mother?"
"My mother, she... um..." Ling Xi narrowed her eyes and thought for a long time, "She got lost. She left home when I was born. Today I am 19 years old, and she still can't find her."
Seeing that Lu Xiaoyan was very confused, Ling Xi explained with a smile: "I heard from Ye Ming that he and my mother were together when they were in college, and lived together unmarried behind their grandfather's back, and then I was born. I just found out that my mother was pregnant At that time, Ye Ming didn’t really want a child. It was my mother who insisted on giving birth to me. The two quarreled several times over this, and they didn’t even get married. Later, my mother met a record company owner and wanted to find her. Japan was developing, she discussed with Ye Ming to go to Japan together, but Ye Ming refused, so she left by herself. When she left, she took all the savings of both Ye Ming and me, leaving me behind. "
Lu Xiaoyan smacked his lips: "No wonder... your father must have hated her..."
"Yes, I have hated her for 19 years." Ling Xi acted very relaxed, as if he had nothing to do with him at all, "But it's strange, I don't hate her at all. She is the one who caused the trouble, the most capricious, the least Responsible guy, but I can't explain why, I'm always full of fantasies about her, hoping to see her one day. Probably people like to add beautiful assumptions to things that are out of reach, just like Worshiping someone as an idol is like beautifying him consciously or unconsciously in my heart. Sometimes I can't help but think, if I really see her one day, what should I say in the first sentence? How should I introduce myself , will it appear both provocative and humorous?"
Lu Xiaoyan stared at Ling Xi for a while, and couldn't help but reach out and rub the messy hair on Ling Xi's head: "It's been 19 years, and she hasn't come back to look for you, maybe she doesn't want to come back to look for you at all."
He really wanted to comfort Ling Xi gently, that his wish would definitely come true, if he persisted in waiting, that day would surely come... But he didn't want Ling Xi to live in false self-comfort.At least in the last life until the day of his death, Ling Xi couldn't see his mother.
Regarding the truth in Lu Xiaoyan's mouth, Ling Xi didn't care at all: "That's okay, I can go to her."
Lu Xiaoyan felt that Ling Xi's stubbornness was unreasonable: "Don't you think she actually forgot about you?"
Ling Xi tilted her head and thought for a while, and insisted on making up a reason for herself: "Maybe she lost her memory, just like in TV dramas, accidentally bumped her head, or had a high fever and hurt her memory nerves, in short, what happened before I don’t remember, I don’t remember having a child like me.”
"Ha," Lu Xiaoyan rolled his eyes and shook his head, "Ling Xi, is it interesting to lie to yourself?"
Ling Xi explained to him solemnly: "I'm not lying to myself, what I imagined is just one of countless possibilities."
Lu Xiaoyan also couldn't explain why he would have trouble with a child: "What if it's not?"
Ling Xi bit her lips and thought for a while: "Then save the air ticket and eat more bowls of barbecued pork rice."
Fitting the occasion, he yelled after "Gulu" alone, and managed to amused Lu Xiaoyan again: "Let's go, go eat barbecued pork rice."
Ling Xi speeded up her pace obediently: "Brother Xiaoyan, I want to add roast goose legs to my barbecued pork rice."
Lu Xiaoyan was very generous: "I'll add two more for you!"
After dinner, Lu Xiaoyan drove Ling Xi to the apartment downstairs as usual, the car was parked on the side of the road, Ling Xi dawdled and did not open the door and leave as usual.After bowing his head and pondering for a moment, he himself smiled shyly, then said hesitatingly: "Brother Xiaoyan, I want to ask you something, actually... are you... are you..."
At this stall, Lu Xiaoyan's cell phone rang. He picked it up to look at the caller ID, waved his hand to signal Ling Xi to wait a moment, then picked up the phone and listened carefully, answering a few short words without knowing it.
Ling Xi's effort to gather enough strength was abruptly interrupted. After sitting and waiting for a few minutes, he couldn't help becoming more and more embarrassed. Finally, he hurriedly greeted Lu Xiaoyan with hand gestures, and quickly jumped off as if he was running away. Car, I didn't pay attention when I went up the steps, and I almost tripped over and got eaten|shit.
Except for grandpa, this was the first time he talked so much with people, and it was also the first time he always had something to say when talking with people.What kind of person is Lu Xiaoyan?He doesn't know much.What does Lu Xiaoyan mean to him?He couldn't say very clearly either.However, the appearance of Lu Xiaoyan seemed to open a door in front of him. Fresh air, warm sunshine, bright purples and reds, laughter and laughter all came in through this door, making him suddenly enlightened.
But there is another sentence, a very important sentence, which he wanted to ask but couldn't ask... Forget it, other people's answers are not important, as long as I already have the answer in my heart, that's enough...
