Light spot

After Xu Rui and Lin Zhi reconciled, since the recording of the family program was completed, Xu Rui often appeared in the main hall of the Lin family to eat with Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi seemed to really want to be good friends with him, and he often took Xu Rui to his room to play after dinner.

From the night of reconciliation, Lin Zhi discovered that Xu Rui was very interested in painting, so Lin Zhi prepared many colorful oil pastels for him. Paint on paper.

Lin Zhi has been to appreciate Xu Rui's paintings, the lines are very immature, Lin Zhi can't see Xu Rui's talent for painting from it, but he still often smiles and says some words of praise that seem to be very pertinent.

At this time, Xu Rui would show a very shy smile.

Xu Rui was too simple and easy to deceive, he soon trusted Lin Zhi again, besides he didn't have any good friends in school, Lin Zhi just filled his gap in this regard.

Moreover, Lin Zhi used to create an illusion for him, as if Lin Zhi couldn't run around like Xu Rui at this age because of his disabled legs, which was a more pitiful thing than Xu Rui's inability to speak.

Getting along with Lin Zhi made Xu Rui very happy. Lin Zhi was only ten months older than Xu Rui, but he was like a gentle brother who was much older than him. He always patiently introduced Xu Rui to his room. Any toy that Xu Rui was curious about.

Xu Rui began to cling to Lin Zhi more and more. Even after getting along for a month, the first thing he did after school every day was to run to Lin Zhi's room. Now he didn't even have to knock on the door to enter Lin Zhi's room.

This kind of development shocked Aunt Wu who had been taking care of Xu Rui's life. Although she had warned Xu Rui countless times not to frequently enter and leave the Lin family's front yard, Xu Rui was only nine and a half years old. When he was active, Lin Zhi had countless new gadgets, and Xu Rui couldn't resist the attraction of those items to him.

Moreover, although Lin Zhi let him play with his toys, he never gave Xu Rui any of them. If Xu Rui wanted to play, he had to go to Lin Zhi's room.

But Lin's pheasant had some problems with his legs and feet after all, and Lin's pheasant couldn't play some games with Xu Rui.

On a weekend afternoon, Lin Zhi was looking at the bright lawn in the back yard illuminated by the sun from the window on the second floor of his room. He saw Xu Rui who was squatting on the ground holding a tree branch poking something, his back was sweating Yes, he's still having fun.

It's time for him to look for Lin Pheasant.

But after Xu Rui dropped the branch in his hand and finally stood up, Aunt Wu came over. Aunt Wu said something to him with a stern expression, but Xu Rui shook her head. Xu Rui who was not persuaded made Aunt Wu very upset, but Instead of getting angry at Xu Rui, she left for a while. About 5 minutes later, Aunt Wu brought a big kite and took away Xu Rui, who looked a little surprised.

That afternoon, Lin Zhi didn't see Xu Rui again.

Lin Zhi looked at the jigsaw puzzle that had been placed on his desktop. It was originally Xu Rui's unfinished puzzle last time, and they were supposed to finish it together this afternoon.

When there was no one around, Lin Zhi no longer put on that gentle smiling face, he evened the corners of his mouth, raised his hand to lift up the puzzle pieces on the table, put them together, and threw them all into the trash bucket.

The time Xu Rui can leave for Lin Zhi is very limited. When he has a lot of homework assigned, when he has more games he wants to play, and when he is going to school, he cannot be by Lin Zhi's side.

Even though Xu Rui was with Xu Rui, almost all of Xu Rui's spare time was devoted to Lin Zhi.

But in the afternoon when Xu Rui was not able to wait, Lin Zhi let the servant throw out all the toys that had suddenly increased in the room during this period of time with a blank face.

He began to feel that raising children was troublesome, Xu Rui should grow up faster and not be so childish.

All the toys in the pheasant's room were cleared out, except a box of crayon sticks.

When Xu Rui came again, he looked at the empty shelves in Lin Zhi's room with half of the wall empty, and his eyes were a little dazed.

Before he could figure out what happened, Lin Zhi avoided his questioning eyes and asked him to draw a picture.

The red oil pastel was a bit shorter than the other oil pastels. Xu Rui held it in his hand and painted the sun in the upper right corner, which occupies a quarter of the entire picture.

The clock pointed to 08:30, and Xu Rui's stick figure was finished.

Lin Zhi took out the red one from the oil pastel, and put it in Xu Rui's hand. He looked at his dirty cheeks that had been rubbed for a while, and said, "This one is no longer usable. Can you take it and throw it away for me?"

This one is just a little shorter, but not to the extent that it can't be used. Xu Rui feels that this length is just right for him to hold.

Xu Rui, who couldn't speak, held the oil pastel, nodded, and agreed.

Lin's pheasant turned his back to the door, and he heard a knock on the door, and then the sound of the door closing gently.

He slid his wheelchair to the trash can in the bedroom, looked down at the empty trash can, and then slowly curled up the corners of his lips.

When Xu Rui walked downstairs and was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by Lin Zhi who appeared in the corridor on the second floor.

The expression on Lin Zhi's face seemed to be a different person, which made Xu Rui feel extremely strange.

He sat on the wheelchair with a cold face, then raised his finger and pointed at Xu Rui, and ordered the bodyguard at the door: "Grab him!"

Xu Rui's seemingly extremely narrow shoulders were held down at this moment, and he was pushed forward in a little panic, and the steps that almost stepped out of the living room were forced to take back.

Lin Zhigao sat in the corridor on the second floor, Xu Rui raised his head, but was blinded by the huge crystal lamp above his head.

"Thief." Lin Zhi pronounced Xu Rui's crime in a calm and cold voice.

The expression on Xu Rui's face suddenly changed, his face turned red, his palms began to sweat, and the small piece of red oil pastel in his hand was melted by his sweat.

None of the servants in the living room stopped what they were doing or showed anything unusual because of this incident.

Except Aunt Wu, who was in charge of taking care of Xu Rui, came over.

"Stole what!? Still haven't taken it out!?"

Xu Rui has never seen Aunt Wu speak to him with such a stern tone and expression. His chest heaved violently, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva silently because of fear. Then, under the sight of these people, he slowly stretched out his right hand , the piece of red oil pastel sticking out from the palm of his hand.

The piece of oil pastel was already out of shape by him because it melted.

It's not a valuable thing. Lin Zhi has countless precious things. Lin Zhi didn't even touch an oil pastel before. How could he know when he would lose one? , as Lin Zhi, it is not surprising to give Xu Rui a few boxes.

But why bother with such a red oil pastel that is almost used up?

Everyone in the living room knew why, so no one reacted to it.

Lin Zhi looked down at everything that happened downstairs in the corridor of Erlu.

Aunt Wu came from the old house of the Lin family, and she has strict rules. The moment Xu Rui opened her hands, she sternly shouted, "Kneel down."

A trace of bewilderment appeared on Xu Rui's face, and he looked at Aunt Wu.

Sitting in the wheelchair, Lin Zhi tilted his head slightly. Xu Rui may have a father who loves him very much. He is at a loss for these punishments from his elders, and he has never been punished.

The bodyguard holding Xu Rui's shoulder exerted a little force, and Xu Rui had to kneel down, touching the cold floor.

Xu Rui felt very embarrassed, although no one else in the living room was looking at him, but in front of so many people in the living room, he was exposed for stealing the owner's property and made to kneel, which still made him humiliated. down tears.

Kneeling on the ground with his head up, he explained to Aunt Wu in sign language that Lin Zhi didn't want it anymore and asked him to throw it away, but he didn't throw it away, and he didn't steal anything.

Aunt Wu looked at him in disappointment, and replied, "You want to hide something that Young Master Lin told you to throw away, so what is it if it's not stealing?"

After listening to Aunt Wu's words, Lin Zhi realized that Aunt Wu could understand sign language. This servant who had served the Lin family for nearly 20 years actually learned sign language to take care of Xu Rui.

This made it less enjoyable to watch Aunt Wu on the second floor get someone to beat Xu Rui's palm with a ruler.

After all, Xu Rui was a child. When he was slapped for the first time, he couldn't bear to cry. He put his arms around Aunt Wu's thigh and buried his face in it, crying.

He's a pain in the ass.

No wonder people like Aunt Wu who have been in the Lin family for more than [-] years can feel compassion.

Adopting Xu Rui by the Lin family is no different from adopting a kitten or puppy. Aunt Wu, like everyone else, regards Xu Rui as nothing, just give him a bite of food to keep him from starving.

But Aunt Wu also learned sign language for a mute child, and even accompanied the child to fly a kite on weekends.

It can be seen that it is taken care of with heart.

Displeasure that was almost visible to the naked eye appeared in Lin Zhi's eyes.

Aunt Wu didn't soften her heart, she pulled Xu Rui away from her lap, made him kneel down, and continued to beat him a dozen times.

The palm of Xu Rui's little black hand was red and swollen.
