not brilliant

It seemed that everyone in the family was very happy when Jing Can said that he was going back to Huihe. Jing Wei even ran to Jing Can's room to help him pack his things, saying that he would go to see him during the summer vacation.

"Aren't you going to paint?"

"Go," Jing Wei glanced at the door, and whispered with a smirk, "but Dad said, I can arrange my own time, and it won't be a problem to ask you to play for a few days."

"Okay, we will take you to play when the time comes." Jing Can agreed.

He said 'we', Jing Wei heard it, and looked at He Pingyi standing aside with blinking eyes.He Pingyi caught his gaze and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Take you to the temple."

Jing Wei was puzzled: "In the temple?"

"Well," He Pingyi said, "Burning incense and worshiping Buddha, eating bran and swallowing vegetables, cultivating one's morality."

Jing Wei pressed her mouth together tightly, stared at He Pingyi for a few seconds, and turned her neck.

"Don't..." he told Jing Can.

Jing Can put the folded clothes into the luggage bag, turned around and patted He Pingyi's thigh: "Don't tease my brother."

Amidst He Pingyi's laughter, Jing Wei knew that he was being tricked, and the older child who was about to enter the fourth grade gave He Pingyi an annoyed look, thinking in his heart how his brother liked to play with such a person.

Jing Wei pulled Jing Can to talk, and He Pingyi took advantage of this time to go downstairs to find Song Yinan.

"Auntie."

Song Yinan turned around, saw that it was He Pingyi, and immediately smiled.

"Hey," she cleaned her hands and turned around, "just in time, I still have something to tell you."

The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, neither of them wanted to be heard by Jing Can, so they chatted in the kitchen without mentioning a change of place.

"You speak first."

Song Yinan pursed her lips, nodded, and opened her mouth.

"Do you know what happened the day Xiaocan went back to Huihe to look for you?"

He Pingyi shook his head, and said, "I can only guess a little bit."

"When he was in college, he often mentioned a friend named 'Xu Hewei', but that day his father went to his university to find out the situation, but found that there was no such person. Then I called the teacher at your school and wanted to Confirm... that the student named He Pingyi that Xiaocan mentioned really exists." Song Yinan said this, shaking his head with a wry smile, "The teacher checked the wrong list for some reason, tell me Your name was not on the list. At that time, his father and I thought that you must also be a good friend that Xiaocan imagined, but Xiaocan completely collapsed at that time, and went to find you like crazy."

"Actually, on the way to Huihe, I looked at Xiao Can, and kept thinking in my heart, it would be great if this boy named He Pingyi really existed... because I thought at the time, if you are fake, Xiao Can Can really seems to stay in that world with you." Song Yinan paused, raised his eyes to check He Pingyi's expression, and then continued, "Fortunately...you are really by his side."

After such a long time, when he thinks back to that day, He Pingyi still feels so distressed that even breathing becomes difficult.Hearing the commotion outside at that time, he just glanced out through the window casually, but suddenly saw the stumbling figure in the opposite teaching building.

"Pingyi, I know, I can't selfishly ask you to stay with Xiaocan all the time, because no one knows what will happen in the future. However, you also know Xiaocan's situation, so I hope that if... if one day , you feel too tired to be with him and want to leave, please tell me in advance not to leave him suddenly, I'm afraid Xiaocan won't be able to face your departure."

He Pingyi didn't expect Song Yinan to say that, after being slightly stunned, he quickly smiled and shook his head: "No, auntie, there won't be that day."

Song Yinan seemed to have fully anticipated his answer, she didn't refute, but felt from the bottom of her heart that the future was too long.

"Thank you very much anyway. How about you? What's the matter with you?"

"Oh, I heard from Xiao Can that the first time he had hallucinations was on his 8th birthday. He said that he wanted a four-wheel drive very much at that time, and you promised to buy it for him if he passed the No. 1 exam. He woke up at night and felt that he saw the car and unpacked it to play for a while, but it was gone when he got up in the morning." He Pingyi asked, "Do you remember which four-wheel drive car he liked? ? I want to buy it for him."

"Four... four-wheel drive."

He Pingyi saw that the expression on Song Yinan's face changed drastically, from calm to shock, and then to shocking pain.After a long time, Song Yinan seemed to be afraid of making a sound, covering his mouth with his hands, shrunk his shoulders, and trembled uncontrollably because of crying.

"What's wrong?" Jing Zaixing came to the kitchen at some point, seeing this, he hurriedly supported Song Yinan, and asked with frowned eyebrows.

He Pingyi did not expect Song Yinan to have such a big reaction. He had a faint guess in his heart, but this guess made his heart sink more and more.

"Xiaocan... Xiaocan thinks that the first time he had hallucinations was when he was 8 years old...he thought he imagined that four-wheel drive car."

Jing Zaixing, who had always been calm, was obviously stunned at this moment. This was the first time He Pingyi saw such a complicated expression on Jing Zaixing's face.

"That's not fantasy..." Song Yinan cried, "You took it away..."

Song Yinan remembered very clearly that she and Jing Zaixing were not yet married at that time, and she followed Jing Zaixing to the mall to buy Jing Can that four-wheel drive car.But the next day, she went to celebrate Jing Can's birthday early, but she saw the [-]x[-] that had been dismantled in Jing Zaixing's locker.She was surprised at the time and asked Jing Zaixing.Jing Zaixing told her that after finishing work last night, he wanted to visit Jing Can and cover him with a quilt, but when he approached the bedroom, he saw that the floor lamp inside was on, and the box of the four-wheel drive was opened. Can was lying on the carpet having fun.

Jing Zaixing never liked Jing Can's playfulness, so when he got up early in the morning, he took the four-wheel drive away while Jing Can was still asleep.Song Yinan didn't agree with Jing Zaixing at that time, but since she and Jing Can had no legal relationship at that time, she just persuaded Jing Zaixing tactfully, and agreed to the child's promise. Things should be done.

But Jing Zaixing knocked on the dial of his watch and told her: "He played for two and a half hours last night, kid, he can't control himself, he can't be so distracted."

If other children wake up and find that the gift is gone, they may make a fuss and ask their parents for it.But Jing Can can't, Song Yinan remembers it very clearly, that morning Jing Can hurried downstairs, even the collar of her pajamas was twisted crookedly.Perhaps it was because of just waking up that the child's pupils were covered with mist.He obviously looked flustered, but after seeing them, he just glanced around silently.

He called out "Hello, Aunt Yi Nan", stood on the stairs for a while, then turned around and went back to his room.

Jing Can has always been so obedient, never making noise.

Song Yinan was crying, while Jing Zaixing lowered his head and hugged her.He Pingyi couldn't see Jing Zaixing's eyes, nor could he guess what he was thinking.He felt that he should leave the kitchen space to Song Yinan and Jing Zaixing, so he endured the fluctuation in his heart, nodded and turned around.

"That four-wheel drive, let me buy it for him again."

When he was about to walk out of the kitchen, He Pingyi heard Jing Zaixing say this.

He turned around and met Shang Jing Zaixing's eyes.Jing Zaixing looked at him and said, "Thank you. Also, Xiao Can will trouble you during this time. If there is anything, please contact me or his mother."

Looking down, He Pingyi caught sight of Jing Zaixing's clenched fist.

He seemed to be regretting and restraining himself, but even at this moment, he was still calm.He was calmly comforting his wife, thanking and asking for help calmly.At this moment, He Pingyi had an intuitive understanding of the source of Jing Can's pressure.

Jing Zaixing is not the kind of parent who asks his children to do what he can't do. He has strict requirements on Jing Can, because he has always asked himself so from the beginning to the end.

This kind of cognition makes He Pingyi unable to have any bad emotions towards Jing Zaixing, even though Jing Can's current situation is inseparable from Jing Zaixing's education method.He knew that this result was not what Jing Zaixing wanted, but it seemed difficult for people to realize that they were wrong before seeing the painful result oozing with blood.

After Jing Wei left, Jing Can packed a few small four-wheel drive vehicles into a small box, and put them properly at the bottom of the luggage bag.Hearing He Pingyi enter the door, Jing Can crouched on the ground and looked back at him.

"I packed it up, we..." Jing Can originally wanted to ask him what time to leave, but when he touched He Pingyi's face, he froze, "What's wrong with you?"

He saw that He Pingyi's eyes were a little red, and his lips were trembling uncontrollably, as if he was trying to restrain himself.Jing Can hurriedly got up and went to him, wanting to ask him what happened.However, He Pingyi opened his arms and immediately hugged him into his arms.

He Pingyi kept silent, Jing Can could only hear his breathing getting heavier and heavier, and feel the arms on his shoulders constantly tightening.Finally, Jing Can put her hand on his back and patted him lightly twice.

"No matter what happened, it's okay." Jing Can said.

No matter how much confusion and anxiety in the past, you can let go, figure it out, and make a decision, then the only thing left is to move forward.

Unlike when she left Huihe that day, Jing Can was in a good mood when she left this time.Instead of letting Jing go, they chose to take the train.When walking side by side to the outside of the community, Jing Can would occasionally jump up and touch the leaves. There are many small movements.

"Oh, by the way," Jing Can pulled out of his pocket, and said, "I still have something to give you, I just wanted to come when I was packing my luggage."

Jing Can picked out a small bag with one finger and handed it to He Pingyi.

"What is this?" He Pingyi took it over, loosened the drawstring, and took out the two pieces inside.

"Building blocks," Jing Can squeezed a building block with one hand, tapped lightly towards the middle, and said as if offering a treasure, "The little sister next door gave it to us."

"Give it to us?"

"Well, I was going to give one to me, and I bought one for you." Jing Can spread out a hand, and put two regular triangle building blocks next to each other on her palm, "My mother said that day, Everyone is like a building block, with edges and corners, and if you get close, if the angle is not right, it will hurt the other party."

He put his hand under He Pingyi's eyelids, and said to him: "But I don't think we will."

"Well," Jing Can walked and talked to him excitedly, a bit like when he was in Qingyan Temple, He Pingyi was happy because of this recognition, and stretched out his hand to touch Jing Can's soft chin, "We don't meeting."

Something hit his calf suddenly, He Pingyi looked down and found that it was a basketball that accidentally jumped out of the basketball court.Carrying Jing Can's luggage in one hand and building blocks in the other, He Pingyi couldn't move, so he said to Jing Can, "Come on, throw them back."

Jing Can then bent down to pick up the ball.

Several boys on the field were looking at this side, and a boy waved to them and shouted: "Thank you, buddy!"

Xu Shi was infected by the enthusiastic voice, and the boiling blood in Jing Can's body surged up again. He turned his head and said to He Pingyi, "Shall I shoot a basketball?"

They were standing outside the stadium, and He Pingyi put the building blocks into his pocket, a little surprised: "You can do it this far?"

This requires not only strength, but also special skills.

"Well," Jing Can's brows concealed a little excitement, "I have a unique skill."

As soon as the words fell, the basketball drew a beautiful parabola, crossed the fence and the court, and hit the center of the basket.

The scene at this time is a bit similar to that day at school. The people on the field did not expect this boy who seemed to be unable to play basketball to be able to throw this kind of ball. emotion.The boy who asked for the ball just now gave Jing Can a thumbs up: "Awesome!"

The more expert you are, the calmer you are, the more calm you are, the more you look like an expert.Jing Can pushed her glasses calmly, without saying a word.

He was actually waiting for He Pingyi's compliment, but after waiting for a long time, no one around him made a sound.Jing Can finally couldn't hold back and looked at him, but saw He Pingyi standing there in a daze, staring at him.

Jing Can thought he was stupefied by his own stunt, pursed his lips, and asked, "Am I good?"

"you……"

When He Pingyi opened his mouth, Jing Can realized that his condition was not normal.He began to breathe rapidly, as if he was being overwhelmed by some great pain.

"How did you throw the ball like that?"

One hand grabbed Jing Can's arm, He Pingyi didn't even realize how hard he was.Before he could recover from Jing Can's shot, the flashes of the past overwhelmed him.

"You can't just rely on the strength of your arms for such a long distance," the tall boy stood outside the court and raised the basketball high.The moment the basketball entered the hoop, the boy patted his head with his hand and asked him, "Have you learned it yet?"

He Pingyi still remembers that time when he raised his head and saw the shining face that overlapped with the sun.

At that time, He Pingyi was still a kid, but he stopped crying when he sat on the seesaw, he was still competitive, like a monkey, he refused to accept it.

No one will obey, but his brother.

"You said you had a basketball teacher, what's his name?"

He Pingyi had never been so out of control in front of Jing Can.Unknowingly when the luggage fell to the ground, Jing Can felt the force on his arms getting stronger and stronger, and he heard He Pingyi's voice trembling.

"He Pingxing, is that right?"

This was the first time Jing Can heard her brother's name.

He Pingxing, a name like a star.
