Stand by me

(12)

Ryosuke Yamada has returned to school.He didn't take much rest these days, his face was as white as paper, and he swayed into the classroom. He just took off his schoolbag from his shoulders, and was dragged out by Nakajima Yuxiang's arm again.

"Ryosuke, listen to me, this is not a joke," they ran to the corner of the corridor, Yuxiang looked at his face uneasily, "My father is going to marry your mother, I don't understand why I don’t want to know, we can’t accept it like this, we have to think of a way!”

Yamada Ryosuke lowered his eyes without saying a word.

The two were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was awkward, Yu Xiang froze there: "You already knew that, didn't you?"

"Last month, my mother told me."

Yuxiang Nakajima trembled all over, and brushed the hair off Ryosuke Yamada's face with his hands. Yamada shrank back in fear, "Why didn't you tell me right away?" He asked.

Yamada just breathed heavily, trying to avoid Yuxiang.

"Aren't you the one who understands the relationship between me and my mother the most?" Nakajima Yuxiang said, "That's why you are so keen to help my father? And I thank you like a fool, you sycophant!"

Ryosuke Yamada's neck was red with anger, and he said: "I didn't deliberately please your father! She told me when I was taking care of my mother at home, but I didn't dare to call you to tell you."

"Yeah, you never thought I was reliable." Yuxiang Nakajima said.

Ryosuke Yamada felt wronged and wanted to cry.He is used to being bored in everything, and carrying it by himself, Nakajima Yuxiang is like he accidentally opened a mountain that he doesn't know, but he dare not look up.

"Did you tell her that you don't want her to get married?" Yuxiang's eyes were as cold as coming out of the grave.

Ryosuke Yamada opened his mouth to deny it, but then closed it again. He didn't want to lie, so he didn't say anything.

Nakajima Yuxiang cursed a bad word, and left Ryosuke to leave. Who should he trust in this world?

Ryosuke Yamada tugged on Yuxiang's sleeve, he cried, Nakajima Yuxiang watched him squatting on the ground against the wall, folded his knees, and hugged him with his arms.

"Yeah," Yamada said, "That's right, I didn't stop Mom, and I didn't consider you, because I only thought of myself. Mom, she wants to marry someone she likes. What right do I have to disagree?"

Nakajima Yuxiang looked down at him, clenched his hands into fists and then loosened them.

"I mean maybe, just maybe. Maybe she only loved one person, maybe the tram driver didn't exist, maybe I really was the child of a rapist..."

Yuxiang wanted to comfort him who was crying, but he still didn't say anything after all.

"Your father is a good man. He helped me take care of my mother, paid for the medicine in arrears, and even called the doctor to come to my house. He said that with him in the future, I can study with peace of mind. I also want to go to college, and I don't want to bow my head , Let my mother see my hard work, sad and sad. I want to go up and stand on a higher place." Yamada said with a sob.

Thinking of his mother's situation, it was like a huge cumulonimbus cloud pressing down on Ryosuke Yamada's heart, causing his whole body to ache.He is also just a naughty and playful child, but beside his mother who has a neurological disease, he has played the role of healing at some point.He has been with chronic patients for more than ten years, even his loved ones, he is already tired.

"We spent the best years together, but you and I will never be the same." Nakajima Yuxiang said sadly, "I only hope that the scenery around me will never change. In that beautiful scenery, there is no need for a Fake mother."

The class bell rang, and they walked towards the classroom one after the other with their heads lowered.Both seemed to decide that it would be better to stop talking until they had to meet at Nakajima's house.
