Wangzai Milk Candy

The house was surprisingly quiet, Xia You's father was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette, "I'm back."

Xia You maintained his superficial calm, and replied according to the usual practice: "Well, it's a holiday. Dad, I brought my classmates back to play."

He deliberately concealed Siming's identity, for fear that Siming would suffer unnecessary harm.

Xia You's father took a deep puff of his cigarette, and said in a very calm tone, "The classmate is here, I will ask your aunt to prepare more."

"Hello, Uncle." Siming greeted politely.

"Hello." Xia You's father looked at Siming, his scrutiny made Siming feel a little nervous.

After finishing speaking, Xia You's father opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, and finally just stubbed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the ashtray.

He turned on the fan at home, "The smell will dissipate after a while, if you two feel unbearable, you can go to the community first."

Xia You didn't like the smell of smoke, so she hurried away with Siming.

The two of them didn't dare to behave too much in the community. Xia You held Sim Ming's arm and heard Sim Ming say, "Your father doesn't seem to be in a good mood."

"Well, I think he should know."

"Then what are you going to do in a while?"

Xia You smiled relaxedly, "My dad hasn't had an attack yet, it seems that he may have done his homework in advance, otherwise he wouldn't let us out now with his temper."

"Hey, don't comfort me anymore, do you know that your smile is very far-fetched now."

Xia You's smile disappeared in an instant, and she lowered her head and said in a daze, "Now I can only pray to God, and pray for a peaceful end."

The journey was extremely heavy, Siming said, "It's getting late, let's go back."

When Xia You came home, a little guy suddenly appeared and shouted, "Sister."

After seeing clearly that there was a stranger beside Xia You, he shyly hid with his small schoolbag in his arms.

"This is your brother?"

"Yes, my brother, it seems that his mother just picked him up from school."

Siming knelt down and said with a smile, "Hi, I'm your sister's classmate."

The little guy was afraid of strangers, he ran to the kitchen to find his mother like a whirlwind without saying a word.

Xia You's mother wiped her hands and came out from the kitchen. This is a beautiful woman who speaks well, "You You, your father said that you brought your classmates back."

"Si Ming, this is Auntie." Xia You also introduced her to her very well.

Seeing that her stepmother didn't have any mean face, Siming immediately became well-behaved, "Hello, Auntie!"

"You two play for a while, and call you after dinner."

Before eating, Xia You took Siming to her room.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the eye-catching windows were sealed, and asked curiously, "Why did you seal the windows?"

Xia You shook her head and said, "I don't know, my dad sealed it."

The layout of the room is very simple, a bed, a wardrobe, a desk, everything is placed neatly.

"This is your mother? So beautiful."

Siming walked to the table and picked up an old photo frame. On it was a woman with eyebrows and eyes very similar to Xia You holding a cute child. It seemed that this child was Xia You.

When mentioning her mother, Xia You seemed to open up a chatter box, and said incessantly: "My mother was a famous beauty when she was young. When I was young, my father said that people who chased her could line up two streets."

"Your mother looks like a very gentle beauty."

Siming raised his eyes from the photo and looked at Xia You with a smile.

Xia You lowered her eyelashes, brushed the frame carefully with her fingertips, and recalled: "My mother is the most gentle person in the world. Everyone says that I am very similar to my mother, but I think my mother must be thousands of times better than me." Ten thousand times."

After a pause, he continued: "Actually, she has been gone for so many years, I almost can't remember her voice and smile, but occasionally I dream of her when I dream."

Siming sat next to Xia You and said, "Take me to meet her some other day, I want to see my mother too."

Xia You nodded, fell backwards on her back, hit the bed, looked at the ceiling and said in a daze, "My mother will be very happy."

"Kuukou—" Both of them looked towards the door, followed by a woman's voice, "It's time to eat."

Xia You took a deep breath, covered her slightly sad eyes with her hands, and after a while, she slowly got out of bed.

Xia You's father was still seriously sitting at the dining table looking at his mobile phone, with several cans of beer in hand.

"Come on, come and eat."

"Thank you auntie."

Siming followed her and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

The food at the table was eaten quietly, and even the children were educated properly, obediently holding small spoons to eat by themselves.

The only noise was the sound of Xia You's father opening cans of beer. The food on the table did not move a few mouthfuls, and two cans of beer had already been drunk.

After drinking the third can, Xia You's father finally spoke: "Ms. Liu from your class called me."

Xia You answered the conversation naturally, without seeming flustered at all, "What did the teacher say?"

Xia You's father said in a calm tone, "Say you're in a relationship."

The chopsticks in Xia You's hand trembled slightly, she bit her lower lip, a little afraid to look at her father's face.

"I also said that you are dating a female classmate and are gay. I don't believe your teacher, tell me yourself, are these true?"

Facing his father's repeated questioning, Xia You answered him with difficulty: "It's all true."

Then the canned beer was smashed heavily on the table, and the beer on the table was spilled, causing bursts of choking smell.

Xia You's father's eyes were red, and he looked like he was drunk, and he didn't care about the presence of Xia You's classmates at all, so he yelled: "I gave birth to you and raised you, not to make you a monster!"

"Have you considered Dad's feelings? How can I go out if folks know about it?!"

"You listen to me, now send a message to your classmate to break up, I will handle the transfer procedures for you, and you will go to another school after the summer vacation."

Xia You lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "Dad, I'm sorry."

Seeing that Xia You's father was about to lose his temper, the auntie drove the little brother into the bedroom and persuaded him: "Old Xia, don't scold the child, there is a misunderstanding here."

Xia You's father blushed and slapped the table angrily, "Don't talk! Leave this matter alone!"

He asked Xia You again and again: "Do you want to separate? Do you still have a conscience? If you feel sorry for your father, you will divide it with me."

"Dad." Mixed with tears, Xia You cried out as if her throat was torn.

With a "plop", Xia You knelt down heavily.

With determination, she slammed her head against the south wall, crying, "Dad, I'm sorry, I can't live without her."

"You—" The father who got angry first kicked Xia You who was on the ground, and then searched around the living room for something to beat him.

"Dad, you can beat me and scold me, but this time I can't listen to you."

"Whoa-"

A glass was shattered, leaving glass shards all over the floor.

Siming finally couldn't bear it anymore, and knelt down with Xia You, "Uncle, I'm sorry, if you want to hit you, hit me, don't hit You You, it's all my fault."

Xia You's father stared at Siming, clutched his aching chest and gasped, "What are you doing? Are you forcing me to agree?"

Xia You looked at his emaciated father, weeping uncontrollably, "Dad, no no no..."

He strode towards Xia You, raised his hand angrily and slapped her across the face.

Siming didn't even have time to block it, everything happened in an instant.

A bright red palm print was left on Xia You's fair skin, and half of her face was swollen.

"Do you want to change it?"

Xia You choked up and uttered broken syllables intermittently, "No no... change... no change."

Xia You's father fumbled around the sofa tremblingly. Seeing this, the aunt hurried over to help him sit on the sofa, patted his back nervously, and asked worriedly:

"Old Xia, don't be so angry that your body is ruined, if you have something to say, I'll get you some medicine."

A small jar of pills was found from the medicine cabinet, and poured directly into Xia You's father's mouth.

Xia You's father was sweating coldly on his forehead, his back was pressed against the sofa, and his breathing became much easier.

After a while, a pair of callused hands covered his eyes, and Xia You's father's shoulders couldn't help shaking, and there was a soft sobbing sound.

He is crying.

Xia You's heart was about to break, she knelt forward, refused to stand up, and stopped two steps away from her father, "Dad, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Xia You's father ignored them, and after a long time, he slowly sat up straight, his eyes were red, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I work hard to make money, what is it for, isn't it so that you can live a good life? Your mother Let's go, I hope you can grow up well, so that your mother can feel at ease in heaven, now that this has happened, you tell me that my daughter is gay, what should I do?"

This strong middle-aged man, until now, has not been able to get out of the shadow of his wife's death. He thought that he married a considerate and capable new wife, with both children, a cute and cute son, and a daughter with top grades. Seeing that the family is getting better and better, Those old sorrows will gradually fade away.

But the daughter's "coming out" brought all these beautiful illusions back to their original state.

"Tell me, what do you want Dad to do?"

Xia You cried and kowtowed three times to her father.

"Let's go, if you want to live at home, you can live at home, and if you want to live in another place, you can live in another place. I have to calm down now. We won't meet again these days. You think about it, and I think about it too. , let's talk after we think about it."

Xia You kowtowed a few more times, and Siming followed closely behind.

One person rang their heads three times, and after kowtowing, Siming took Xia You and left.

On the bus, Xia You was too tired to talk, and didn't have the energy to think about anything, so she lay by the window and stared out in a daze.

Siming watched anxiously from the sidelines, but he had no countermeasures.

"arrive."

Siming shook her body lightly and said, "We've arrived, let's get off."

Xia You was so frightened that she shrank suddenly, stared blankly at the door of the car, and then got up and got out of the car.

There was no one at home for the time being, so Siming first sent a message to his parents to confirm that he had arrived safely, then settled Xia You down, took out the meals his mother had prepared and heated them up to fill their stomachs.

Xia You hasn't said a word since she came back, she just kept in a daze.

Now holding the bowl in his hand, he didn't move and started to be in a daze.

Siming was worried that Xia You's spirit would be stimulated, so he wished he could take him to the hospital for a physical examination immediately.

"Yuyou, it's time to eat."

Siming snapped his fingers, and Xia You said as if waking up from a dream: "Oh, okay, you can eat too."

After a meal, this happened four or five times before coaxing Xia You to eat half a bowl of rice.

Considering Xia You's mental state at night, Siming deliberately didn't turn off the lights in the bedroom.

Xia You closed her eyes and asked aloud, "Why didn't you turn off the lights?"

Siming said, "I'm afraid you won't sleep well."

Xia You said lightly: "Turn it off, I'm fine."

Siming didn't force it, and tiptoed out of bed to turn off the lights.

The two were lying on the bed, neither of them spoke, and the room fell into silence.

After a while, Xia You's sobs were heard, floating low in the room.

Distressed, Siming stretched out her hand to embrace him, not even knowing what to say to comfort her, so she could only use her body language to tell Xia You that she was always by her side.

After crying for an unknown amount of time, Xia You's crying stopped, and the sound of sleep was heard.

Siming put the person away again, turned over and got out of bed, and carefully applied the medicine. There was still a lot of medicine left from last time. This time, Siming was more experienced, and the speed of administering the medicine was very fast. .

Looking at the mark that had gradually subsided, she sighed in her heart and said, "This is the second time, I'm sorry, I didn't know that things would turn out like this."

Being slapped by one's own father would be uncomfortable on anyone's body, not to mention that for Xia You, the pain in his heart must be far greater than the pain on his face.

Every time Sim Ming saw it, she would scold herself countless times in her heart. If she had been quicker then, how could this slap fall on Xia You's face.

In the darkness, Siming finally couldn't help covering his face and weeping silently.

Confused, she got up and went to the living room to get some air, only to find that the living room was brightly lit and her parents were still sitting on the sofa.

She wiped her face in a panic, "Mom and Dad, when did you come back, I didn't hear a sound."

Siming's mother kept looking inside through the gap in the door that Siming hadn't closed.

"Fell asleep?"

"Well, I fell asleep after crying for a long time."

Looking at her daughter's uncomfortable back, the mother recognized her at a glance, "Don't hide, let mom see."

Siming was reluctantly dragged into the living room by her mother. When her father saw her, he asked with concern: "Why are you crying so well? What's on Mingming's mind? Tell your parents."

Under the concerned eyes of the two, Siming explained the whole process in detail.

Siming hugged his mother and said weakly, "Dad, Mom, what should we do?"

The father was very calm, and touched his daughter's head comfortingly, "Her father must love her very much, all you have to do is let him understand and accept this reality slowly."

"But her father slapped her..." Siming sniffed, feeling her heart being lifted into her throat when she thought of this.

Siming's father glanced at his daughter, and said slowly: "You cut it first and then play it. Whose parents can't be angry? Her father did it in a hurry. Didn't you say that her father also cried later, and he didn't like it in his heart It's good, and he is a father, and this is the child of a deceased wife. He bears more pressure than other parents. It's good to give him some time to let him slow down. Both of you should be calm and calm. Just figure it out. gone."

The mother went on to say: "Don't worry, parents love their children. What you need is time. The reason why he is so angry is that he is too worried about his children. You are young and have no job. This incident has turned into a subordinate, and no parent wants to see their child become a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats. If you strive to succeed and stand out in the future, her father will naturally accept it slowly."

Listening to his parents' consolation, Siming's heart suddenly brightened.

"Mom and Dad, I see, thank you."

Siming's mother smiled, and patted her daughter on the back, "Why are you thanking your parents, Mingming, if there is something you can't solve in the future, remember to tell us, Mom and Dad will always stand by your side."

Siming's father said kindly: "Although I was very angry at the beginning, you are my child after all, and your mother also supports you very much, and father has to support you. Whatever you want to do, father will fully support you. This time, I can’t do this again, otherwise I can only give you spiritual support, and the financial support will be avoided first.”

Siming hugged the two of them firmly, and kissed his parents like he did when he was a child, "Thank you dad, thank you mom."

Xia You leaned close to the door and heard all the conversations of their family.

Xia You realized that there was no one beside her in a half-dream and half-awake state, so she forced herself to stand up and planned to go outside to find someone.

But before he put on the doorknob, he heard the conversation of the three of them outside the door.

Xia You heard what he overheard clearly, and felt somewhat relieved.

After all, the door was not pushed open, and she lay back on the bed staggeringly, and some problems that were bothering her were gradually figured out.

"Click-"

Xia You hastily covered her face with the air conditioner, pretended to be in a deep sleep, and breathed and breathed well.

Siming tugged at the corner of her clothes, "Are you awake?"

Xia You didn't respond.

Siming lowered his voice and said to himself, "I know you're awake and don't want to talk, so just listen to me."

Siming recounted the conversation with his parents just now.

"I don't know if this comforts you. I think we will find a way. I have a hunch that your father will agree."

After speaking, Siming turned his head to look at Xia You who was beside him. The Xia Liang quilt covering his face had fallen off, and the remaining two hands were weakly grasping the corner of Siming's pajamas.

"Really asleep?"

At first Xia You was very energetic, perhaps because the big stone in his heart disappeared just now, listening to Siming's rambling, he couldn't help feeling sleepy, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Siming sighed helplessly, tucked the quilt for Xia You, and said softly, "Good night."
