Light spot

Xu Rui was fined to kneel in the living room after his palms were slapped, and knelt for two hours.

At that time, Lin Zhi had already returned to his bedroom without interest.

Xu Rui, who was punished for kneeling, was still crying, and his face, which had been smudged while painting, now looked more like a dirty little tabby cat.

Xu Rui was taken away from the living room by Aunt Wu holding hands.

It was completely dark outside and the temperature dropped. Xu Rui and Aunt Wu walked into the backyard.

Apart from the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, there was only Xu Rui's suppressed sobbing.

Perhaps because of kneeling for a long time, his knees were overwhelmed. He couldn't keep up with the sullen Aunt Wu's pace at all. He was dragged away staggeringly, bumped into Aunt Wu's leg several times, and almost My son fell down, but Aunt Wu still held her wrist tightly.

"How many times have I told you not to come to the front yard! You just don't listen, do you think that Master Lin's toys are all fun!?" Aunt Wu's tone was disappointed and angry.

Xu Rui took two quick steps, turned in front of Aunt Wu and put his arms around her waist, then raised his weeping face to Aunt Wu and cried.

He gestured with Aunt Wu again in sign language, arguing that he hadn't stolen anything.

It seems that I really hope to get Aunt Wu's understanding and comfort, instead of blindly criticizing and those indisputable tones.

Aunt Wu met those black and white eyes filled with a layer of water in silence.

She finally sighed as if admitting defeat, then bent down and put her hands on Xu Rui's shoulders: "I'm disappointed in you. I don't really think you stole something. I'm just angry at you for being disobedient. Did I tell you countless times not to get too close to Young Master Lin, but you are playful and run to him every day? He is different from a child like you..." Aunt Wu said here and then followed Realizing how overreaching these words were, she consciously shut up, and glanced left and right in fear.

Fortunately, she found that in the backyard at this moment, except for the rustling of the leaves of a few trees being blown by the wind, and the sound of water coming out of the fountain, there were no other sounds, and no one else was passing by.

She pursed her lips tightly, and then said to Xu Rui earnestly: "Now that you have learned your lesson, you have to keep your memory and don't get close to people you shouldn't be close to."

Xu Rui looked at Aunt Wu's dignified expression, with a face that was about to cry, he had suffered too many unbearable grievances today.

He finally nodded obediently.

Aunt Wu's heart softened: "Does your knee hurt?" She bent down and stretched out her arms to hug Xu Rui.

Pulling the curtain at the window on the second floor, looking at Lin Zhi in the back courtyard of Lin's house, he saw two people, one big and one small, having some exchange there, and then Xu Rui was picked up by Aunt Wu.

Xu Rui, who was lying on Aunt Wu's shoulder, seemed to have stopped crying at this moment.

Lin Zhi's downcast eyes looked at those two people, and the look on his face was somewhat gloomy that didn't match his age.

How old is this, at the age of nine and a half years old, and adults have to hug and coax her after being scolded.

How could he remember the lesson by coddling him like this?

Moreover, Aunt Wu's actions made what Lin Zhi did today meaningless.

Xu Rui won't get the lesson he deserves at all, and he won't clearly realize who he should be curry favor with.

Xu Rui is currently being adopted by the Lin family, and Aunt Wu is just a part-time worker in the Lin family. What's the use of Xu Rui always acting like a fool with Aunt Wu?

Lin Zhi is the one who can control Xu Rui's life with just one word.

The renewed friendship was once again shattered.

Xu Rui no longer went to look for Lin Zhi as frequently as before.

For two consecutive weeks, Xu Rui never went to see Lin Zhi again.

When such a thing happened, Xu Rui should be angry, he is just dumb, not a fool, how could he come to play with Lin Zhi so stupidly after Lin Zhi changed his face like that?

Lin Zhi thought, maybe Xu Rui should be given some time to calm down.

So I didn't do much for half a month.

But after so long, Xu Rui didn't come again, he seemed to want to never forgive Lin Zhi.

It was a rainy Saturday this week, and Lin Pheasant sat by the window, watching the lawn in the back yard being drenched in rain.

Will there be some earthworms in the yard after the rain? Xu Rui may like to poke them with branches.

This may be safer and more fun than coming to play with the unpredictable forest pheasant.

Although Xu Rui has difficulty communicating with others, he has the lively and active temperament that is usual for this age group.

So much so that even if it was a rainy day, Lin Zhi waited in Xu Rui's room until eight o'clock before seeing Xu Rui's figure appearing in front of his room door.

There was only one desk lamp turned on in the room, and Xu Rui was still carrying a small iron bucket in his hand. When he stood at the door of his room and saw Lin Zhi sitting in a wheelchair, he thought for a moment that he had gone to the wrong door first.

There was only Lin Zhi in the room, and Xu Rui stared at him, feeling somewhat indescribably afraid. He looked at Lin Zhi's wheelchair, not knowing how he got up.

After a pause, when Lin Zhi raised his eyes and looked at him suspiciously, Xu Rui took a breath and stepped into the door like that.

He raised his hand to turn on the headlight in the room, and the room was instantly brightened.

The layout of the bedroom is very simple, a bed and a bookcase and desk integrated into one.

Against the wall stood the wardrobe.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger outside, and the sound of raindrops hitting the window became louder and crackling.

Xu Rui's schoolbag was placed on the chair in front of the desk, and there were some books and report cards in it, and things like test papers were dug out.

Lin Zhi was holding Xu Rui's report card in his hand. Xu Rui's grades were not good. In this test, he only scored 65 points in mathematics, and scored [-] points in Chinese. The other subjects were blank. It is estimated that the subjects participating in the test are only these two subjects.

Xu Rui came closer at this time and saw what Lin Zhi was holding in his hand. The bucket in his hand was also loosened, and the small iron bucket fell to the ground with a "bang", and a few wet snails rolled out of it. .

His face suddenly flushed red, as if he also felt that his grades were not very good, so he stepped forward and snatched his report card.

After he snatched it, he looked at Lin Zhi with his hands behind his back, as if he thought he was very rude, and casually came into his room and rummaged through his things.

Under Xu Rui's gaze, Lin Zhi slowly revealed a frustrated expression, and seemed to be hurt by Xu Rui's actions again.

He said in a light tone: "You are not angry with me and want to break up with me, are you? I thought we were very good friends?"

He raised his eyes to look at Xu Rui, and explained in a flustered manner: "Last... last time I was too angry. You must know that our family has very strict rules, and I was also educated in this way. Think about it, If I ask someone to throw something away for me and he keeps it private, how many unusable things will appear in our house for no reason?"

"You hide a crayon that doesn't work, she hides a broken piece of jewelry, the gardener hides a tree with a broken branch? Don't you think it's a mess? I've lived here since I was a child, and I know how to obey The importance of rules, so you will do that after you do this, I am just too angry, if you want something, you can tell me, there is no need to hide it secretly, right?"

When Lin Zhi said this, his tone was very gentle, and when he spoke, he stared at Xu Rui with clear and sincere eyes.

The expression on Xu Rui's face became a little uncomfortable. What Lin Zhi said sounded too reasonable. Xu Rui began to feel that taking away what Lin Zhi didn't want was also a heinous violation of the rules here.

"You understand me, right?" Lin Zhi couldn't help leaning forward, looking at Xu Rui eagerly.

A moment of bewilderment appeared on Xu Rui's face, and he twisted the report card in his hand a little helplessly.

As the distance between the two drew closer, Lin Zhi saw emotional fluctuations in Xu Rui's eyes that couldn't hide anything.

With a "puchi", Lin Zhi clutched his chest and burst out laughing. As if he couldn't bear it anymore, he approached Xu Rui with an unconcealable malicious light in his eyes: "You won't believe it again!" Bar?!"
