If the fleeting year has not come

Life is still going on unremarkably, I still go home with my senior sister every day, and go out an hour earlier to tell her to go to school.

until a rainy afternoon.

As usual, I sent my senior sister home and then went home by myself. As usual, I arrived at my grandmother's house an hour after school.

My father, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time, was also there, sitting on the sofa with my grandmother, the TV was on but no one was watching or talking, the atmosphere at home was very strange.

"Dad." I called a little stiffly, and the atmosphere was the same when my parents decided to separate.

"Your school doesn't have interest classes at all." Father's stern tone covered his head and face.

"No." When the incident happened, I admitted it frankly.

Then there was a silence, maybe they need some time to digest my lies, the well-behaved children have learned to lie.

"Where did you go?" Grandma asked after a long time.

"Hanging out," I replied. "Alone."

"why?"

"No reason." My little thoughts couldn't be exposed, so I simply broke the jar.

Then I was punished by my father for the first time in my life. He beat me hard, mostly because I lied, and maybe a small part was because he couldn't accompany me and made me a bad boy?

Later, I faced the wall in the room and thought about it. My father and grandma were talking in the living room.Even the gentle grandmother was a little agitated. She stood up several times trying to argue, and then sat down slumped.

Like when my parents separated, I followed my father back to his home that night.My father's house is very big, much bigger than my grandmother's house and the house we used to live in. There is also an aunt in the house who I can never call mother, and a boy who is much older than me and can be called brother.

"This is your Aunt Ye." This is how the father introduced the beautiful woman sitting on the sofa peeling fruit.

"Aunt Ye." I thought there must have been no expression on my face at that time, and my tone was also cold. Although I was young, it didn't mean I didn't understand anything.

"This is Ye Xiao, you have to call him brother. Ye Xiao, this is your sister, An Yu." My father pulled the boy with a wary face to me.

"Brother." I don't think I like him, but I faintly feel that he has the same texture as me, lonely or something else, so I smiled at him.

"Hmm." The boy blushed with an unintelligible monosyllabic word in his throat.

I later found out that this guy was the fuse that caused the parents to separate. He was the illegitimate child of his father and Aunt Ye. He was born after his father and mother got married. He was five years older than me. I was a child born after my parents married five years. Because the mother never wanted a child.

Although it wasn't Ye Xiao's fault that my parents separated, I always hated him at that time, and it could also be because I hated his mother, the bad aunt who broke our family.

In fact, the marriage of the parents was a mistake from the very beginning. Few of the marriages between the rich second generation and the official second generation can be truly happy, and Aunt Ye is the father's first love and the woman he has been dating.But I didn't know it at the time, and I simply believed that she robbed my father and our home.

And so began my life in my new home.

I didn’t go to school for a few days, I don’t know what happened, the school I went to was not the previous school, my father helped me do something that was very fashionable at the time, and I transferred.

My father said that because he lived with him, it was inconvenient to be far away from the previous school, so he went to the current school.But I'm not happy at all, there is no senior here, and I haven't even said goodbye to senior.

I expressed my anger by ignoring people for a few days, but it was useless. The day after my father sent me to school, I went on a business trip. He was extremely busy with data accumulation, and Ye Xiao also had endless homework and interest classes. In short, no one had time for me.

In the winter, I still have no chance to go back to my old elementary school, not even an excuse to go to my grandma's house. My grandma will visit me every weekend and talk to Aunt Ye about my situation. Auntie seems to have become friends because of me, which is really strange.

"Hey, isn't your birthday coming soon?" One day after school, Ye Xiao appeared at the school gate.

"Why?" As I said earlier, I don't like him, so my attitude towards him is naturally lukewarm.

"My mother asked me to ask you what gift you want." At this time, Ye Xiao was still very innocent, almost saying something, and he didn't know how to please girls at all.Of course, he didn't make much progress in the future.

"Why didn't she ask herself." Recently I saw a word in the dictionary, which seemed to refer to her, hypocritical.

"You don't like her!" Ye Xiao gave me a questioning look.

"I don't dislike her, I just hate her," I corrected.

"Oh, I'm so tired of talking to you little girls. I told you not to come." Ye Xiao impatiently picked out his ears and picked up my schoolbag. It's still heavy."

"It has nothing to do with you." I wouldn't tell him that it was full of snacks. I always imagined that one day I could meet my senior sister by chance and hand over these things she likes to eat to her.

"I don't want to know! Hurry up and tell me, what gift do you want for my birthday? This year I asked for a set of Spiderman, how about you want a set of Batman?" Ye Xiao naturally took my hand and walked in front, Already in the second year of junior high school, he seems to have not yet reached the rebellious stage, and has not yet learned to keep a distance from girls.

"That's what you want, not me." I gave him a blank look, you can't give me what I want.

"You just say what you want. It's exhausting to talk to mother-in-law and mother-in-law."

"do not know."

"You said why you have such a strange personality, no wonder no one plays with you!" After all, he was still a child, and Ye Xiao was a little unhappy about my indifference.

"Nonsense, I have friends!" I retorted, senior sister is my friend and my only friend.

"It's been a few months and I haven't seen you talking to others. Yesterday your head teacher called to ask my mother if you have autism!"

"You are the only one who is sick!" Sure enough, it was a hypocritical bad aunt who actually told the teacher that I was sick.

"It's not that what I said is good or not, it's what your teacher said, and my mother lost her temper and scolded your teacher!"

"Why did she scold our teacher?" No wonder the head teacher turned a blind eye to me today. It turned out that the bad aunt did the trick.

"Because your teacher said you were sick, you are so stupid, you don't even understand."

I felt like I fell into a logical circle at the time. No matter what happened, it was Aunt Ye who seemed innocent now.

From that day on, Ye Xiao came to pick me up from school every day. Logically speaking, their junior high school students would finish school later than me after two classes in the afternoon. I don’t know how he managed to leave school at the same time as me.

Ye Xiao's junior high school is very close to my school, and now we all belong to the nearby school, so I will come out after class for a while, and he can just walk to the gate of our school.

I think I am still afraid of being lonely, so I wait for him on purpose every day.

My birthday is getting closer and closer, and I can see Auntie Ye wandering around my door several times every day, as if he was hesitant to talk to me about something, but she gave up because of my indifference.In my opinion at the time, she was monitoring whether I really had autism. It turned out that at that time I had the disease called Zhong Er.

"Hey, let me ask if you can smile." One afternoon after school, Ye Xiao suddenly asked me.

"There is nothing funny, why laugh." Because it is very close to home, and Auntie Ye speculates in something called the stock market at home every day, so we all go home for lunch at noon.

"Staying dumb every day is really like the big villain in cartoons." Ye Xiao made an exaggerated grimace.

"I'm not as ugly as you." I made no secret of my disgust.

"I'm ugly? Don't underestimate me, a bunch of girls are writing love letters to me!" Ye Xiao said unconvinced.

"Writing a love letter, what is that?" As a primary school student, I heard of such a thing as a love letter for the first time.

"I just knew you didn't know." Ye Xiao smiled awkwardly, and took out a pile of rice-red letter paper from his schoolbag. The beautiful heart-shaped letter paper was crumpled by him.

I took the note and looked at it, and it was nothing more than superficial words like "Ye Xiao, you are so handsome" and "Ye Xiao, I like you".

"It's boring." I handed the note back to him.

"Boring is also boring for you girls." Ye Xiao shrugged.

I don't think this guy is attractive at all. His thick eyebrows and big eyes have inherited his father's appearance, but his lips are red and his teeth are white like a girl's. What's so good about him.

"It's your female classmate, not me." I said angrily.

"Is there anyone you like?"

Ye Xiao asked very casually, but it made my heart skip a beat.Of course I have someone I like, that girl named Ling Xia, I don't know how she is doing now, I miss her so much.

"Is it okay for me to have whatever I want for my birthday?" I asked tentatively.

"Of course, as long as you don't want the stars or the moon, of course anything is fine."

"I want friends to come to play at home, is that okay?"

"You actually have friends? Really or not!" Ye Xiao seemed to hear some shocking news, and exaggeratedly widened his eyes.

"Just say it's okay, there's a lot of nonsense."

"Of course, my mother would be so happy to know." Ye Xiao narrowed her eyes with a smile.

"What is she happy about?"

"You have friends, what a strange thing."

"It's an old friend, a former school."

"Do you have her phone number? How did you call her?"

Ye Xiao asked a very important question, I don't have any contact information of my senior!

"No." I answered honestly.

"What do you call it? Just say you're stupid. You didn't know how to ask someone to write your classmates before you transferred to another school."

"If you don't have it, you don't have it, what do you think?" If I had known in advance that I would be transferred, I would definitely not send my senior home that day.

"Just go to your original school and find her. When you go back later, you can tell my mother and ask her to take you there in the afternoon."

"There is class in the afternoon."

"Can't you learn it? You can understand things in elementary school after just looking at them."

"Of course I will!" In order to meet my senior sister in the afternoon, I will do it if I don't.

"Then it's over, just ask for a leave." Ye Xiao said it as a matter of course, it seems that he has done a lot of things about asking for leave and not wanting to go to school.

"Will your mother ask for leave for me?" I asked cautiously.

"Tell her yourself, she must agree."
