In your eyes, a sea of ​​stars

Lin's father finally found his own rhythm in the busy figure of Lin's mother, and finished the other two dishes without hesitation, braised pork with preserved vegetables and stir-fried cauliflower.He enthusiastically pulled Yi Chen to taste it, and while eating, Yi Chen lamented that he had never eaten such a delicious meal, much better than the restaurants in Nancheng.

Father Lin was elated when he heard it, and even wanted to force Yi Chen to have a drink, but Mother Lin suppressed it with her eyes.

Yi Chen secretly picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Lin Qin's mouth. Lin Qin pursed his lips. Father Lin performed exceptionally well in this dish. People have a big appetite.

Yi Chen: "Is it delicious?"

Lin Qin nodded, and even wanted to touch the chopsticks to pick another piece: "It's delicious."

Yi Chen coaxed him: "Call me brother, put something nice, brother will clamp it for you."

Lin Qin laughed at this person's shamelessness. He picked up a piece of buckle meat with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, and said bulgingly: "It's not you who did it, so why praise you."

Yi Chen flicked his forehead with his fingers: "No conscience."

Mother Lin watched from behind, even forgetting to bring the food in her hand to the table.The corners of her eyes were moist, she raised her head slightly and blinked her eyes, she saw a light that she had never seen before from Lin Qin.

Her biggest dream in the past was to find her son. After finding Lin Qin, she hoped that he would be healthy and happy, so she and Lin's father ran all over Nancheng to find a reliable psychiatrist. Finally, one day, like a dream, Lin Qin recovered. Vitality, she realized that she was really greedy and always wanted more.

She hoped that Lin Qin could be happy forever.

Lin's father held her shoulders and brought his wife to the table, "Come, try your mother's handicrafts, they are much better than mine."

As soon as Mother Lin sat down, Lin Qin said, "Wait a minute."

All three looked at him, and Lin Qin asked, "Can I make a wish?"

"Although it's only New Year's Eve, even if it's not your birthday, you can still make a wish, right?" Lin Qin took out a small packet of cake-specific candles from his bosom like magic, put them on the small cake by the table, and shared a small plate with each of them. .

Mother Lin was taken aback, and immediately said, "Of course."

Yi Chen turned around and turned off the light, and closed the curtains thoughtfully. The living room was dark for a moment, faintly broken light leaked out, scattered on the floor like stars, candles flickered on the table, Lin Qin closed his eyes first.

Yi Chen's eyes kept falling on Lin Qin. He watched Lin Qin gently blow out the candle, and closed his eyes reverently to make a wish.

Four people had a very comfortable meal.

After dinner, Lin Qin insisted on washing the dishes, and took Yi Chen to clean up the housework together. Lin's mother and Lin's father sat on the sofa and watched the two juniors busy, almost overflowing with happiness in their hearts.

Lin Qin accompanied Lin's father and Lin's mother to talk for a long time, from school affairs to the little rabbit and kitten brought back from outside, and also said that the kitten's name is Xiaodi, and the two rabbits are called Galileo and Schrödinger .

Mother Lin asked, "Are the two little rabbits one male and one female?"

Lin Qin: "The two males stick together every day."

Mother Lin smiled softly, Lin Qin always felt that her smile had something deep in it, and after thinking about it, he realized that he and Yi Chen were also stuck together every day.

Mother Lin took Lin Qin's hand and put it on her knee: "I'm really happy that you can come to my house for the New Year. I really hope to see you every day."

Lin Qin's lips moved, and Lin's mother stopped him with a smile: "I'm not forcing you to come back. Compared with living with us, you are obviously happier when you are with Yi Chen. This is what we hope to see .”

"So, Lin Qin, don't feel pressured, as long as you live happily, freely, and not eroded by troubles, that's enough for me and your father." Mother Lin took out two red envelopes and put them in Lin Qin's palm, "Remember Give Yi Chen one, don't take it all by yourself."

"Lin Qin, I have missed you for many years, but fortunately, I will be here for many years to come. Lin Qin, happy new year."

Lin Qin leaned over and hugged Lin's mother, and said in a low voice, "Mom, happy new year."

Before leaving, Lin's father called Lin Qin to the study, and Yi Chen was stared at by the smiling Lin's mother, making his whole body numb.

I have been with Lin Qin and Principal Lin before, and I didn't feel uncomfortable, but now that Lin Qin and Principal Lin are not there, the sword of judgment hanging above Yi Chen's head has finally come down.

Mother Lin spoke first: "Xiao Yi, can I call you that?"

Yi Chen quickly said, "Of course."

Even though he, Yi Bawang, has gone through countless ups and downs, he will still be nervous when the day comes to meet his parents.

Sure enough, after the initial pleasantries, Lin's mother asked, "Xiao Yi, what do you like about Lin Qin?"

Yi Chen was stunned.

He thought about a lot of questions about meeting his parents, maybe there were accusations and reprimands, but he never had such doubts, which sounded like the most incredible questions about him and Lin Qin being together.

He could almost hear the voice-over from the bottom of Lin Mu's heart, Lin Qin is not good at all, what do you like about Lin Qin?

Yi Chen straightened his back, he exhaled softly, and said calmly: "Lin Qin is very good, I like him very much, regardless of his advantages and disadvantages, of course, maybe beauty is in the eye of a beholder, and Lin Qin I have no shortcomings."

"How much do you know about Lin Qin?"

This sentence is the most heart-wrenching question for Yi Chen, and even buried Yi Chen in the deepest place, and dug out all the doubts that he thought it didn't matter but kept beating him all the time.

In the beginning, he didn't know Lin Qin at all. He never asked about Lin Qin, and his understanding of Lin Qin was only from Lin Qin's words and insinuations from outsiders.

The old parents who raised Lin Qin passed away, and the only property left to him was a small shop in front of the school, and the rest was Lin Qin, the little boy who stumbled and followed him.

He told himself countless times that these were enough, it didn't matter what kind of past Lin Qin had, he was Lin Qin now, and he would be Lin Qin in the future, no matter what happened, he was his favorite Lin Qin.

Even if his father was Huizhong's principal, even if his parents were still alive, he never mentioned it.

"Where were you at that time?" Yi Chen's voice was a little hoarse. If Mulan was there, he could tell that his elder brother was angry. The anger was so fierce that it almost overwhelmed his reason, but Lin Qin's voice came faintly from behind the door. Come, like a violent storm, the anger is extinguished in an instant.

"13 years ago, Lin Qin and I met in the countryside on the west side of Nancheng. When we met for the first time, he was bullied by the children in the village. They pushed him into the field, frightened him with grass snakes in the field, and threw frogs at him. I threw it on him, and even covered his mouth with mud. I was watching from the sidelines, and I wondered why he didn't cry or fuss. He was obviously very thin, but he held his head tightly and didn't resist." Yi Chenhu Speaking slowly, he thought that he had already forgotten this past, but he did not expect that it was still like a vine, growing wantonly in the depths of his memory.

"I have been the king of children since I was a child, and I love to fight. Those children are no match for me. After I beat them away, I pulled Lin Qin out of the mud. He said thank you to me, holding a few snails in his hand, saying Give it to me as a gift, Auntie, to be honest, this is the first time I have seen such a fool.” He was beaten for a few snails, and after they were protected, he wanted to give it to others as a gift.

Yi Chen raised his head calmly, but was stunned. Mother Lin looked at him quietly, tears streaming down her face.

"Lin Qin is a silly boy. He hoped that I could take him away, but I was too young and childish at that time. After I made a promise, I forgot all about it when I got home. I forgot. I originally wanted to save him. Yes. I pulled him out of the deep pit, but let him hang alone on the high cliff for 13 years, I was sorry for him." Yi Chen took out a tissue and handed it to Mother Lin, "So, even if I don't know anything about Lin Qin It doesn't matter if I know it, at least I know that I have a heart for Lin Qin."

Only now did Yi Chen realize that he was actually resentful. He hated himself for forgetting Lin Qin, and also hated his parents who left Lin Qin in the abyss.This resentment was hidden too deep, until now she showed her fangs.

It was already night at this time, the lights outside the window covered the entire Nancheng, the sound of firecrackers came in through the cracks in the window, and there were layers of fireworks blooming in the distance at the end of the sky.Yi Chen thought, if only Lin Qin in the study could see this scene.

"We lost Lin Qin, and it's all our fault. We've been looking for him for 15 years." Lin's mother wiped her eyes, her voice was a little choked, but she tried to smile, "I know you are Lin Qin Looking for the 'brother' for many years, I wanted to thank you, but for some reason, it developed into a review meeting."

Yi Chen also laughed, but his mood was not relaxed.

"Xiao Yi, in your heart, you may feel that we are shirking the responsibility of taking care of Lin Qin. There are too many entanglements in it, and there is really no need to talk about it, but please believe that the sentence just now may make you feel annoyed, but it is true. That's what I really want to ask." Mother Lin said, "Have you ever heard Lin Qin mention someone?"

Yi Chen paused slightly with his bent fingers.

"His 'master'."

Of course Yi Chen knew that Lin Qin had said many times that if his master hadn't taught him to "conquer people with virtue", he would have beaten Yi Chen to death long ago.

Lin Qin said that he had never been to elementary school or junior high school, and occasionally he would secretly squat in the corner while attending classes, but Lin Qin's learning ability is really strong, so Yi Chen attributed the credit to Lin Qin, the elusive "master" .

If it weren't for that master who acted righteously, Yi Chen might never see Lin Qin in his life.

Later, I heard that his master had gone to travel in poverty, if not, Yi Chen really wanted to thank him.

"Xiao Yi, Lin Qin's father and I tried our best to contact the police stations and places with information about missing children, until one day I met an old couple at the door of our house. They got terminally ill and left the hospital without permission. It took days to find me."

"They told me that Lin Qin has been living next door to them, and they came here specially to return him to us."

So Lin's mother and Lin's father rushed to Xiting Village on the west side of Nancheng late at night, and found a dilapidated small yard according to the address given by the old couple. It was bitten off in half by something.There was only one hut in the yard, which looked ramshackle, with dim lights flickering in the windows.

"We found Lin Qin in the corner. He was sitting in the corner with his puppet bear in his arms, watching us quietly."

Yi Chen was silent for a moment, and said, "At that time, his master should have left."

Mother Lin shook her head, tears streaming down her face again, her voice was trembling so hard that she could barely hear it.

"Xiao Yi, whether it's the yard or the house, there is no trace of Lin Qin's 'Master' living in it. From the beginning to the end, only Lin Qin lived in that yard."

"Xiao Yi, the so-called 'Master' is only imagined by Lin Qin, and that person is actually you."

"It's you in Lin Qin's fantasy, who spent 13 years with him."

The fireworks exploded outside the window like thunder, and Yi Chen felt as cold as falling into a deep pool.

The author has something to say:

Listen, it's the sound of the end.
