Whisper unintentionally

45.

That night, Little Button had no choice, but fell asleep with tears in his eyes.

In the days that followed, Little Button still refused to make a choice.But she is no longer that carefree little girl.She has become erratic.

At times she was like a wary kitten, with ears pricked up to pick up suspicious meanings in grown-up language.A pair of big eyes watched the adults' every move.

She was afraid of being left alone, and as long as Kou Yaner and Li Zhiqiang were silent and coldly fighting, the little button could not wait to talk non-stop, with various performances, she wanted to brag about her small achievements in school to the sky.

At the same time, she was very afraid of any conversation between Kou Yaner and Li Zhiqiang.As soon as he sensed the sexiness in the speeches of both parties, the little button immediately interjected, trying to distract everyone's attention.

But then one day, Little Button's behavior became very bad again. When she returned home, she ignored everyone, and didn't even look at Kou Yaner, as if her mother didn't exist at all.

She has no interest in everything around her, and she doesn't do her homework or read books.She made a mess of things, the water in the water glass "accidentally" knocked over Kou Yaner's test paper; You can only cook noodles separately.

Kou Yaner was angry, she pretended not to see it.When Kou Yaner criticized her, she turned her face away, stared at the floor or the wall, bit her lip and said nothing, as if she couldn't hear anything.

Kou Yaner's deep voice could not conceal her anxiety, and following her own description of the little button, she realized that her anxiety was escalating into panic.

"Last night, Little Button suddenly asked me," Kou Yaner paused for a while, "She asked me if there was someone outside."

Xu Xiaomai was also shocked, she couldn't connect this little button with the little button she was familiar with and played with.

"How do you answer?" Xu Xiaomai finally asked, but he didn't look at Kou Yaner, but stared at the ceiling.

"No." Kou Yan'er's answer was low and empty.

This was a potentially ambiguous answer, but Xu Xiaomai knew for sure that "no" was Kou Yaner's answer to Xiaokouzi.

Xu Xiaomai didn't say a word, and kept staring at the ceiling, as if it was the Sistine ceiling.But the reality is that there is nothing, just a white ceiling.

"I know I'm lying, but I don't know how else to answer..." Kou Yan'er said.

"I understand." Of course Xu Maimai understands, this lie hides the kindness of trying to protect a child.

"However," Xu Xiaomai thought, "when I was at the age of Little Button, I could often find that adults were lying to children. I really don't know why adults do this. Is it just out of love? Or do I always think Are adults smarter than children?"

Xu Xiaomai didn't express his thoughts.Now is not the time.

What Xu Xiaomai said was: "So, you are lying next to me right now?" This was the second time today, and Xu Xiaomai used a teasing tone.

Kou Yaner froze for a moment, she recognized the meaning of Xu Maimai's words.Xu Xiaomai guessed right, this is a causal relationship.At least partly causal.Apart from the fact that Kou Yaner misses Xu Xiaomai very much, she really feels guilty for denying to Xiao Button that "there is someone outside", and she can't wait to make up for the harm she caused Xu Xiaomai.Denying that "there are people outside" is actually denying the existence of Xu Xiaomai, which means that Xu Xiaomai can only exist secretly.Not long ago, Kou Yan'er said sternly: "A love whose depth can only be measured by bad feelings like pain and humiliation is not true love." So what is the current situation?Is it humiliating?
