Growth pain

Lu Shining was in the sixth grade of primary school, and Yuan Sen was in the second grade of experimental middle school.

Two people are not in the same school, so naturally they can't be together when they go home.There was evening self-study in junior high school, and Yuan Sen didn't get home until dark every day.

The sound of smashing pots and pans came again from the next door. The Yuan Mori family hadn't watched TV recently. When his parents quarreled, they directly smashed the TV. It is still in the living room, with a big hole in the screen.

As if he didn't see it, Yuan Sen took some things from home, and said to Lu Shining, "I've been staying at your house for a few days recently, and the monthly exam will be a few days later, the house is too noisy."

Lu Shining said "Okay" with a piece of bread in his mouth, and the bread fell to the ground with his mouth open.

Yuan Sen smiled, "Little Lu, why are you so careless? Are you stupid?"

Lu Shining picked up the bread and threw it into the trash can, unwilling to talk to Yuan Sen.

He celebrated his 12th birthday a few days ago, and Hara Mori congratulated him on finally growing to 1.6 meters.

Yuansen is already 1.7 meters nine, still a head taller than him.This made Lu Shining very unwilling. In addition, his legs and arms were always twisting and hurting at night recently, which made him unable to sleep well, and his mood was even worse.

He put his emotions on his face, Yuan Sen wanted to coax him, rubbed his arms and legs again, and called "ancestor" in his mouth.

Dogs and people are awkward as long as the hair is smooth.

Lu Shining soon lost his temper.

There were several heavy rains suddenly in May. Lu Shining kept his umbrella in his schoolbag for a whole week, but he forgot to bring it on Friday, and it happened to rain.

The rain was so heavy that he couldn't get out of the school gate at all, Lu Shining was not very skilled in sending messages on the smartphone he bought newly at home.

[I forgot to bring my umbrella, I will go back later. 】

Half an hour later, the phone buzzed and vibrated, and Yuan Sen called him: "Where are you, go out of the teaching building and run a few steps, I can't get in at the school gate."

Lu Shining ran out with his schoolbag on his back, Yuan Sen waited at the school gate with an umbrella.

"Why are you here?" Lu Shining raised his head while holding the umbrella handle and asked.

"The exam ends early today. Uncle Lu said you forgot to bring your umbrella, what's wrong with your brain?" Seeing that his hair was still dripping with water, Yuan Sen raised his hand and rubbed his head indiscriminately.

The two boys squeezed into the same umbrella, and Lu Shining said, "You just take one umbrella."

"It's good to pick you up, why are you still picky?" Yuan Sen said and gave him the umbrella, "Is this okay, ancestor?"

Lu Shining straightened the umbrella again, "Let's go."

He was not tall enough, so he slackened the edge of the umbrella and always hit Yuan Sen's head. After two or three times, Yuan Sen took the umbrella, "Xiaolu, are you taking revenge on brother?"

Lu Shining withdrew his hand embarrassingly, "No."

Before entering the community, you have to walk a long street. The green belts on both sides of the road are wet and wet from the rain. An Audi hurriedly passed by under the steps. Yuan Sen dodged inside and hit Lu Shining.

The umbrella left Lu Shining's head for a moment, he raised his head, and saw a person walking out of the community, a faint figure under the gray sky.

They go forward, and the man comes this way.When he got closer, he could see the man's appearance clearly.

There is no difference from four years ago, with the same fair face and thin body.Lu Shining recognized at a glance that he was Aunt Lu's son.He didn't open an umbrella, his skin was so white that it was almost transparent, like a ghost in a rainy night, passing by the two of them.

Lu Shining couldn't help but stop and look back, "What's wrong with him?"

Yuan Sen took his hand and led him forward as if he expected it, lowered his head and muttered: "He is sick."

Lu Shining was stunned for a moment, but he didn't hear clearly and turned his head to ask: "What?"

"It's nothing." Yuan Sen turned his head to look at him, "What do you care about him, go home quickly, your shoulders are wet, and you will catch a cold again tomorrow."

Lu Shining hadn't seen that brother for a long time.Since that summer four years ago, no one in the community mentioned him anymore, and Aunt Lu did the same. She never praised her up-and-coming son to others.This person disappeared from everyone's sight as if he didn't exist.

Lu Shining was only curious for a while, and quickly put the matter behind him.

Yuan Sen is going back to live in his own house today, before leaving Lu Shining asked: "Did you tell Aunt Fang that you are going back to live?"

Yuan Sen was speechless, "Does this need to be said? Just live at the opposite door."

Lu Shining nodded, went to the kitchen to wash an apple for Yuan Sen, and divided half of his snacks for Yuan Sen to pack.

Yuan Sen didn't understand, "Why?"

"If Aunt Fang didn't cook, would you come to my house to eat?" Lu Shining asked him.

Yuan Sen looked a little uncomfortable, "Take a bite of whatever you have at home..."

Lu Shining patted the snacks.

Yuan Sen sneered, and patted the child's head like he patted snacks, "Then I'll take it, and I'll make it up for you later."

"No need." Lu Shining said generously, "If my leg hurts again, you can rub it for me."

Yuan Sen poked him on the side, "Xiaolu, am I your hired servant?"

Lu Shining laughed, a little ticklish, turned around to avoid Yuan Sen's hand.

That night, the neighbors fought as usual, and everyone was used to it, but Lu Shining curled up on the bed and couldn't sleep.

This was the first day that Yuansen went back to live, and the whole family didn't change anything because of his return.

Since living together is so sad, why not separate.

Lu Shining didn't dare to ask, Yuan Sen never talked about his family affairs.

The next morning, Yuan Sen rarely came to wake Lu Shining up. Lu Shining was almost late, and finally was led by Lu's father to stop a taxi before he managed to get to the classroom before the bell rang.

Yuan Sen didn't go to class that day.

I skipped classes for many days after that.

But every time he appeared in front of Lu Shining, he was always smiling, and he couldn't see any changes.

Lu Shining really wanted to ask Yuan Sen what happened, but he wasn't sure if Yuan Sen really wanted to say it, and whether he would make Yuan Sen embarrassed by asking rashly.

And he had a hunch that once he asked, many things would not be as they are now.He suddenly became timid, so he pretended not to see what was happening in front of him.

The temper raised by his parents and the coquettishness that Yuan Sen used to make him afraid to face the unknown.

That was the first wrong thing he did.

##

The elder brother upstairs went home to live, and Lu Shining could always see him in the past few days.

He sat by the flower bed, looking a little haggard.

Lu Shining stopped many times but didn't dare to approach him, until one afternoon his brother took the initiative to stop him.

"Are you Ningning?" he asked.

Lu Shining nodded.

The young man laughed, "They've grown up so much."

These words are very similar to what the elders would say, as if recalling the past.

Unknowingly, the distance between the two of them got closer, the young man bent down to look at him, "Unfortunately, I didn't bring candy today."

Just as Lu Shining opened his mouth to say something, Yuan Sen's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Little deer."

Lu Shining turned his head, Yuan Sen stood in front of the unit building and looked at them with frowning eyes.

"come over."

Lu Shining turned to look at that brother, he was also stunned standing beside him, but quickly pushed Lu Shining, "Come over, your brother is calling you."

Yuan Sen is not his brother.

But it's not bad.

Before Lu Shining could take a step, Yuan Sen came over first, and the moment he grabbed Lu Shining, a shrill female voice sounded from upstairs.

"Yuan Sen!" Yang Qiongfang propped up the window with one hand, half of her body was almost leaning out of the window, "What are you doing?! Come back!"

Yuan Sen's expression darkened, and he grabbed Lu Shining and dragged him away.

Lu Shining looked dazed, forgot to look back for a while, and staggered back home with Yuan Sen.

Yang Qiongfang was waiting for them at the door.Lu Shining was a little afraid of women, she seemed to be very angry, as if she was about to explode.But why, he didn't know.

"You treat everything I say to you as fart?!" Yang Qiongfang asked immediately, staring fiercely at her son, "Am I out of control?"

Yuan Sen let go of Lu Shining and pushed him to the left, "Little Lu goes back first."

Lu Shining stood still, "Auntie, what did brother do wrong?"

Yuan Sen didn't do anything, just took him home.

"Ask him what he did? Skipping class, fighting, inviting parents, which one is not a good thing he did?!" Yang Qiongfang couldn't control her anger, and finally let out a sigh of relief, "Ning Ning go home first, I and you My brother has something to say."

Everyone said that Yuan Sen was his brother.

If only his brother would be fine, he would never want Yuan Sen to go back to the opposite house.

He wanted Yuan Sen to accompany him for the rest of his life.

But in the end Lu Shining was still pushed home by Yuan Sen, the boy waved his hand at him and said in a breathy voice, "Brother will find you in a while."

Lu Shining waited that day, and Yuan Sen didn't come from morning to night.

At night at the end of May, Lu Shining was lying in his room, his whole body was in pain, his arms and wrists were hurting, his joints were hurting, and his knees were throbbing.

The only thing he thought about before falling asleep was to tell Yuan Sen the pain tonight and ask him to coax him.

more tomorrow
