why don't you laugh

Chen Bing said: "The money matter is the best solution, I can help you find a solution."

"You don't understand," Xiao Zhi turned his head, "I just hate her. I don't want to contribute to the crimes she committed, and I don't want to pay back a penny."

How much I loved before, how much I hate now.

Xiao Zhi grasped the cashier with his fingers tightly, as if thinking about it, he frowned immersed in the pain, and spoke a little confusedly.

People are most likely to be besieged by themselves.

Chen Bing approached, grabbed his shoulder and tightened it tightly until the pain made him conscious.

"I don't know what you hate in your heart, but I know that when you encounter such a bad thing, you can always see the future if you move forward, but if you don't leave, you will be stuck in it for the rest of your life."

Xiao Zhi stared at him, his eyes were dark, and he seemed to want to say something, but everything was hidden in silence.

Chen Bing let go of his hand and said, "Isn't there still me?"

Xiao Zhi's clenched jaw loosened slightly, and he stared straight at him, but still didn't speak.

Maybe he didn't know what to say.

Chen Bing said: "No matter what you do, I will be with you."

Patting him on the shoulder, Chen Bing sat back in the chair, avoiding the delicate atmosphere of staring at him when he said this.

But after thinking about it, he still spoke.

"Don't worry it's just you."

I will definitely stay by your side.

Xiao Zhi's eyes were bloodshot, and a layer of inexplicable emotion gradually spread, and his tense fingers began to loosen.

Chen Bing died once, and was even able to face his own death calmly, but he couldn't accept Xiao Zhi's future fate.

During the long silence, Xiao Zhi took out a fruit candy from the shelf, sat down and peeled one, and handed it to Chen Bing.

Chen Bing hates this kind of food: "Don't eat it."

Xiao Zhi quietly put it between his lips and teeth, the sweet smell spread, and said, "It's quite sweet."

Chen Bing changed his words again: "Then give me a taste."

The sugar color is ruddy, and it is very beautiful in the palm of your hand.

Chen Bing put Tang in his mouth and just sat there without saying a word.

Xiao Zhi asked: "Is it sweet?"

Chen Bing responded: "Sweet."

The corners of Xiao Zhi's lips twitched, and he smiled inexplicably: "You are awesome."

Chen Bing replied: "You are not bad, too."

The boy's thoughts are actually very simple, maybe only a few sentences, but it contains a more lingering taste.

At six o'clock when Xiao Ruo's junior high school was over, Xiao Zhi looked at his watch and said, "Let's have dinner together when she comes back."

Chen Bing responded: "Yes."

Checking the message with his mobile phone, Lu Weimin never urged him to go back to school, but instead asked him how he was recovering.

Chen Bing replied briefly, turned off the phone, and it was almost seven in the blink of an eye.

When Wang Yueqiu came back from shopping in the supermarket, he saw the two of them still standing: "Have you had dinner yet?"

Xiao Zhi: "Wait for Xiao Ruo."

Wang Yueqiu looked at his watch: "It's already seven o'clock, and she hasn't come home yet? Isn't school usually over at six o'clock?"

Xiao Zhi had been anxious for a long time. Hearing this sentence, she was afraid that she would be worried, but instead comforted her: "It's okay, Chen Bing and I just went to that street for dinner. Let's see if Xiao Ruo is playing on the road."

Wang Yueqiu's face was full of worry: "Alright, this kid is usually very good. Every day after school, he comes to sit with me and wait for you to go home. What's going on today?"

Xiao Zhi didn't reply.

He walked along the road to school.

Chen Bing felt that he was walking very fast, as if he was in anxiety, and comforted him and said, "Maybe he was playing with a classmate."

Xiao Zhi looked at him again, and shook his head: "Impossible, Xiao Ruo just didn't have many friends in junior high school, and the sister in the class led others to isolate her, and she would only go home after school."

Chen Bing was stunned: "You won't be bullied by your classmates, right?"

"not sure."

Xiao Zhi glanced left and right, seemed to have no idea, then thought of the few local hooligans this afternoon, lowered his head and bit his lower lip.

Chen Bing can only comfort: "Maybe the teacher will keep me to do my homework, don't worry, let's look for it first."

Almost an hour had passed since the school gate was closed for the holiday, and there was no sign of any junior high school students, and even the security guards were dozing off in their chairs.

Xiao Zhi went over to ask, he woke up and said: "School is over, the students have already finished school. Now the school is empty, you can see if she is home or on the way."

Having no idea, Xiao Zhi took out his mobile phone and called Xiao Ruo.She usually keeps her mobile phone at home, and will definitely send her a message when she gets home.

Can't get through, no one answered.

Xiao Zhi cursed: "Fuck!"

He started to panic, Chen Bing didn't know how to comfort him, and said, "Then let's look for it now, along the street, you go there and I go this way."

Xiao Zhi turned around and ran away.

Chen Bing also started to look for the road after he knew the way. He went from house to house, every alley and every street, and checked every aspect uninterruptedly.When he came back, he was sweating profusely, and he met Xiao Zhi at the school gate, his sprinting figure bumped into him, his breathing was hot, his back was wet with sweat, and his voice trembled slightly when he spoke.

"did not find."

"I didn't find it either." Panting, Chen Bing supported his knees, "Don't worry, let's think about where, if we can't find it, call the police."

Now it's past eight o'clock in the evening, and it's half dark, the security guard took the lock to the iron gate and was about to install it, when Xiao Zhi suddenly thought of something, he yelled: "Don't lock it!"

After speaking, he leaned on the crossbar and turned over directly. The security guard wanted to curse, but Chen Bing, who came after him, held his shoulder.

"His sister is missing."

Security guard: "Huh?"

Chen Bing followed suit.

The street lights in the school were turned off, and the surroundings were too dark to see clearly. Xiao Zhi said, "She doesn't get along with the girl in the class. I don't know if she was locked in the classroom and not allowed to go home."

"possible."

When they searched through the entire building floor by floor, they found nothing.Xiao Zhi's hair was wet with sweat, and he could almost hear the beating of his heart in his chest.He ran wildly on the playground, not letting go of even a crack, and almost wanted to open up the entire school.

Seeing that he was so anxious, Chen Bing couldn't persuade him even if he tried to persuade him. When he helped find him and walked to the bathroom near the playground, he suddenly heard a soft cry.

Very light, very light, like a cat scratching, but long and bitter.

Chen Bing shouted: "Xiao Zhi!"

When he came over, Chen Bing said, "Listen, is there someone in the toilet?"

Xiao Zhi listened for two seconds, then walked towards the women's toilet with long legs, and after a while, grabbed Xiao Ruo's wrist and lifted her out.

Xiao Ruo didn't look like he had been bullied, but he cried wildly with his face up, his eyes narrowed into two bloated buns, and tears kept falling in between.

Xiao Zhi led her along, and when she saw Chen Bing on the stairs, she suddenly stopped and struggled.

"No, I won't go, I..."

Xiao Zhi searched for her for two or three hours, thinking she was being bullied, but now he just squatted in the toilet and cried.Xiao Zhi's panic just now turned into anger, and he yelled at her: "What the hell are you doing?"

Xiao Ruo was dumbfounded by his yelling.

Xiao Zhi: "Do you know that I've been looking for you for a long time, why don't you go home properly, what are you doing in the toilet!"

Xiao Ruo shed tears again, tugged on his cuffs, and said in tears: "Pants, the pants are dirty..."

I thought she was making trouble with Chen Bing, but who knew it was the reason.Xiao Zhi turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and took a picture of her buttocks, his expression froze suddenly.

The large area of ​​reddish brown was very mottled by the jeans she was wearing today, which was extremely conspicuous.

Xiao Zhi was originally full of anger, but he calmed down.

Xiao Ruo covered her pants with her hands, tortured by shame, trembling all over.

Xiao Zhi's speech was a bit stuttering: "...You, are you on your period?"

Xiao Ruo pursed her mouth, and the tears that had been stopped began to fall again.

She is here for the first time.

Not knowing what to do, afraid of being laughed at, afraid to even step out of the toilet or ask anyone for help.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Ruo knew that the school was going to close, and he might stay here all night, but he could only cry helplessly.

Xiao Zhi paused, then lowered his voice: "I'll take you back."

He took off his coat and wrapped it around Xiao Ruo's waist to cover her back. When he was about to hug her, he thought for a while: "Carry you."

Xiao Ruo is no longer a child.

Xiao Ruo slowly climbed onto his back, crying, as if out of breath, realized Xiao Zhi's concern and said, "Brother, am I going to grow up?"

"..."

Xiao Zhi was inexplicable: "What?"

"I don't want to grow up." Xiao Ruo looked at the sky and cried, "I will leave you when I grow up."

According to the physiology book, menstruation is a sign of a girl's growth.Xiao Ruo was smart since she was a child, but after being thrown away by Yang Wanzhou, she began to pretend to be crazy to Xiao Zhi, showing a very small mind and childish appearance.

Because she knew that only in this way, the irritable and impatient brother would protect her without limit, pay attention to her, and pamper her.

And Xiao Ruo had her period today, her first reaction was that she was going to grow up and become an independent and capable adult, Xiao Zhi might not care so much about her in the future.

Thinking of her future, Xiao Ruo lay on Xiao Zhi's shoulder, crying heartbroken.

"..."

Xiao Zhi didn't know what to say, listening to her crying, he walked all the way home.

The little girl is thin, and it feels awkward to hold her wrist, but she has to start growing up.There should have been a woman, her mother, to teach her how to deal with growing pains.But Xiao Ruocai is so young and has nothing.

The first thing for her is to worry about being separated from her when she grows up, Xiao Zhi has mixed feelings in her heart.

I went to the store and bought two packs of sanitary napkins, and handed them to Xiao Ruo to take away.

I started looking for Xiao Ruo at seven o'clock, and now it's close to nine o'clock. The excessive energy consumption just now made me very hungry, and I was walking in the slightly cold night wind.

Xiao Ruo was sobbing and crying all the time.

There were no stars in the sky, she looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said: "I miss my mother."

Children are always like this. When they are lonely and helpless, they are the first to think of the closest people.

"..."

Hearing this name, Xiao Zhi pursed his lips slightly and did not speak.

Xiao Ruo buried her head in his neck, crying softly: "Why doesn't mother care about us?"

Xiao Zhi licked his lower lip: "Can you not mention her? I'm tired of listening."

Brief silence.

However, Xiao Ruo opened his mouth and shouted loudly, as if erupting suddenly.

"I miss mom! I miss mom! I miss mom!

She shouted, tears kept falling down.

"I miss mom! I want mom!"

"..."

Xiao Zhi's lips twitched slightly, not knowing how to deal with her sudden ignorance, he stopped in his tracks.

There was a lot of traffic and lights all around, but he suddenly didn't know which direction to go.

Xiao Ruo clenched her fists and kept asking: "Why don't parents care about us? I miss my mother..."

She is so young, how can she understand the reality of driving her family out for money.

Only Xiao Zhi understood, he endured it silently, and then said in a cold voice: "Don't think about this cruel woman, she won't care about us anymore."

After finishing speaking, he heard Xiao Ruo's unacceptable wail, maintaining the indifference on his face.

The light slightly illuminated his face, his lips were pursed straight, as if he was stubborn, but his eyes turned a little red for no reason.

Yang Wanzhou used to be a good mother, whether she is a busy working mother or a full-time mother at home, a mother will always be a mother.

To accept the reality that she has no flesh and blood in her heart, the process is really painful.

Xiao Ruo leaned back on his shoulder, crying uncontrollably.In the narrow passage under the stairs, Xiao Ruo finally seemed to have had enough of crying, pulled Xiao Zhi's hair, and said nonchalantly.

"Brother, don't fight anymore."

Xiao Zhi: "Huh?"

"What if someone beats me to death in the future? I'm the only one left."

"..."

"You don't want to smoke anymore. If you get lung cancer and die later, I will be the only one left in the world."

"..."

"You should also pay attention to safety, in case of a car accident—"

Xiao Zhi just wanted to interrupt her boring nonsense, and then heard the next sentence.

"If you die in the future, I will commit suicide and die with you."

Xiao Ruocai is so young, but she has a different kind of firmness when she says this. I don't know what is going on in her mind at her age.

Xiao Zhi stood where he was, and didn't go any further.

His figure hangs down to the ground, slender and dark, and climbs up to the top of the far wall.For some reason, he suddenly raised his hand and wiped his eyes.

What is there in this world that can depend on each other and support him?

He is only 17 years old and Xiao Ruo is only 11 years old.

Why is no one willing to help them, stand by his side, and grow up happily like ordinary people?

Even entering adolescence, contains so much pain and sadness.

If the trajectory of the previous life is really followed, what kind of ending should Xiao Zhi and Xiao Ruo go to?

The breath under the wall is very light, like a feather falling to the water, like a fire burning silently.

Xiao Zhi put down Xiao Ruo on his back, raised his hand to stroke her hair, his movements were very light, his vision was completely covered by shadows.

Although it was far away and vague, he could feel his slightly trembling pain, inseparable and powerless.

Chen Bing has been watching from the side, as if he finally understood something.

He slowly approached and squatted down, gently putting his shoulders on his shoulders.

No extra words.

Chen Bing said: "Xiao Zhi, I will grow up with you."
