brother, it's mine

Chapter 5 Like Parting (12)

In the United States, at eight in the morning, the sun was not strong. After breakfast, Magnolia walked in the garden for a while before returning to her room. She sat by the phone, looked at the clock on the wall, and dialed the phone hesitantly.

She received a call from Lin's mother two days ago, Shaoyu seemed unwilling to come to the United States, probably because of Lin Shaofeng, but Lin Shaofeng really couldn't come to the United States.

But Shaoyu is her child, and no one can deny a mother's willingness to take care of her child.

The phone dialed, about [-] rings, it was connected over there, Bai Yulan held her breath, and came from the other end with a childish voice.

"Mom, it's me, Shaoyu."

The cold and clear voice is completely devoid of the joy and miss that a child should have when talking to his long-lost mother.

"Shaoyu." Bai Yulan called her son's name and sighed, "Aren't you willing to come to the United States? But the education and resources in the United States are much better than those in China, you...don't be self-willed, this is for Hello, come over in mid-July, get used to it first."

On the other side, in China, Lin Shaoyu was sitting on the ground with a phone in his hand. The child lay quietly in his brother's arms, with his ears pressed against his brother's still thin chest. He could hear his brother's heartbeat there, which was steady and powerful, which made the child feel at ease.

Lin Shaoyu covered the microphone with his hand, his voice did not fluctuate, and he said as if stating the facts: "Mom told me not to be willful."

Lin Shaofeng was lying in his brother's arms, and he immediately retorted: "Nonsense, mother talks nonsense, brother is obviously not self-willed at all, brother is the most obedient, and never asks for anything!"

Lin Shaoyu let go of the hand covering the microphone, and rubbed the child's head to comfort him.

"Less?"

After a long silence, Bai Yulan opened her mouth and shouted.

"Mom." Lin Shaoyu responded.

"Shaoyu you—" Bai Yulan wanted to say something, but Lin Shaoyu interrupted her there.

"Mom, in fact, I have never spoken my heart to you, have I?"

Lin Shaoyu's voice softened, and Bai Yulan shut her mouth. She really didn't know her eldest son. She left too early. She had never witnessed this child's growth, and she was never by her side. How could she have the opportunity to listen to what this child said in her heart? Woolen cloth?

At this moment, Bai Yulan realized one thing. When the child was young, he wanted to talk about what he saw, heard, and wondered. Who would listen?

His grievances, joy, and laughter, now that I think about it, no one participated, no one listened.

Feeling guilty for a moment, Bai Yulan closed her eyes, and Lin Shaoyu's voice came slowly from the microphone.

"Mom, this is the first time I have spoken my heart to you, and it is also the first time you have listened so seriously, right?" Lin Shaoyu paused, as if he was organizing his words, and it seemed that those words were so long and messy, he I don't know where to start and where to end.

"When I was young--"

Lin Shaoyu opened his mouth and chose a very tacky beginning.

"Kindergarten always like to hold some parent-child activities, and I would be afraid at that time. I am the smartest, well-behaved child in the kindergarten who is most liked by the teacher, but when it comes to these activities, I feel like I am the most pitiful one. "

"There was a little fat guy in the same class, he was quite stupid. His parents and sisters came to the parent-child meeting. His father was also a fat uncle, but the little fat guy signed up for a leggings run. The father and son were far behind the others, and they lost badly in the end. The little fat man yelled, feeling ashamed of his father."

Lin Shaoyu paused.

"Then I heard his sister say to him, 'What's your name, the whole family is here to cheer for you, even if your father can't run, he will accompany you to run with leggings, there is one in your class whose parents didn't even come', at that time I Think, little fat man, what are you dissatisfied with? Do you feel ashamed of your father? But—"

"I don't even have a father around me who can embarrass me."

"Every day when school is over, it is also a time of fear. Everyone walks out of the school with their schoolbags on their backs. They complain like good buddies that their parents are so naughty and annoying. Let's go wandering and live a free life together, and then talk, one by one. In the middle of the walk, my parents grabbed my ears and dragged me into the car and went home obediently. A car drove by, and there was a burst of dust. In the end, I was the only one watching them leave, and then I thought about one day , My parents will also pick me up in a luxury car, maybe it’s as flashy as a Ferrari or as low-key as a Touareg.”

Bai Yulan listened with a sore nose, and Lin Shaoyu seemed to let out a low laugh when he mentioned the car.

"But my parents, they might be driving on the other side of the world in a Mercedes."

They forget that they are on the other side of the world, and there is a child who is waiting for them to pick him up after school.

"Shaoyu, come to America, mom, I will pick you up from school every day."

Bai Yulan's voice was choked with sobs, and she was still persuading her son, even though she already felt in her heart that some things are just like that, once it's over, it's over, and it won't come back.

"Mom, I've told you so much, but I just wanted to tell you—"

Lin Shaoyu straightened his voice, and continued very seriously: "I have grown up now, what I lost can only be made up at that time, and now, I only hope that my younger brother will not follow the same path as me."

I want to stay by my brother's side, to listen to his grievances, to share his happiness, and to witness his growth.

Since then, I will never have that lonely and cold childhood again.

The next day, Mo Yuran received a call from his daughter-in-law in G City, canceling her decision to take Lin Shaoyu to the United States.

At home, Lin Shaofeng happily asked Lin Muxi to take himself and his brother to the playground to celebrate the fact that "brother finally doesn't have to go to America".

Lin Muxi was always curious about how Lin Shaoyu "attacked his heart" to make his sister-in-law change her mind.

In August of this year, Lin Shaoyu took off his red scarf and officially entered junior high school, and Lin Shaofeng also started his life in the first grade of elementary school.

Zuo Xiao is still in the same class as Lin Shaoyu, Lin Shaofeng and Beitang Luo are also in the same school and class, best friends, bad friends, and elder brother, fate still continues, life is still moving forward.
