Xu Qisi's illness has almost recovered, and if Ruan Wenxi stayed with him, it would be impossible for him to work hard by the bedside like before.
So Ruan Wenxi took the initiative to go back to his room and brought the pillow.
The quilt was relatively big in winter, so he didn't prepare another quilt, so he went back to his room and took a shower before sleeping on the same bed with Xu Qisi.
Every child in the Xu family sleeps alone in their own room after they reach the age of kindergarten. Xu Qisi has not had the experience of sharing a bed with others for more than ten years.
But sniffing the familiar faint scent of shower gel on the tip of his nose, Xu Qisi didn't feel too uncomfortable, but felt very at ease.
Following his instinct, he moved closer to Ruan Wenxi, facing Ruan Wenxi and looking at him.
At this time, Ruan Wenxi turned his head to him, met his gaze, and smiled slightly: "Does Xiaoqi have anything else to say?"
Xu Qisi nodded, looked away for a while and then put it back again: "I said before, I will tell you when you come back."
Ruan Wenxi remembered this.
These few days because of Xu Qisi's illness, he himself felt uncomfortable and was not in the mood to say these things, and Ruan Wenxi only cared for him wholeheartedly and completely forgot about it.
Now that Xu Qisi mentioned it again, Ruan Wenxi sighed: "I didn't expect something to happen in the end, but luckily you are fine now."
Xu Qisi's voice softened: "Brother Wen Xi has worked hard these few days."
Ruan Wenxi smiled: "It's so hard to take care of you. So what does Xiaoqi want to tell me?"
Turning the topic back to business, Xu Qisi took a deep breath and said with determination: "It's about... something about... Xiao Baohui and Shi Chanan."
Ruan Wenxi looked down at him: "Is Xiao Qi willing to talk to me?"
Xu Qisi nodded, holding the quilt gently with one hand, looking a little nervous: "Actually, there is nothing to hide about this matter, it's just... I'm just afraid, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."
"I'm actually... not as pure and kind as you think."
Xu Qisi lowered his voice very softly when he said the last sentence, if Ruan Wenxi hadn't been within arm's length of him at this moment, he might have ignored it.
Xu Qisi has always been very clear about what his family and Ruan Wenxi think of him, thinking that he is simple and kind, and he is an object that needs protection and care.
But he wasn't that kind of person at all.
Ruan Wenxi didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.
Xu Qisi didn't stay silent for too long, and continued: "Actually, for about three years from elementary school to junior high school, I have always harbored resentment towards my family."
Those were also the three years when the relationship between Xu Qisi and his family was the coldest.
He listened to what Xiao Baohui and Shi Chanan said, and thought that the reason why his family ignored him was because he was not as good as his brother, not as lively as his sister, and he was an existence that even his family despised.
At school, he was always shrouded in the shadow of his elder brother, and when he returned home, he watched his younger sister play like a baby with the family members, and every time he got the family's helpless and tolerant care.
He once resented his elder brother for being too good, resented his younger sister for taking away the care that should belong to him, and blamed his parents for favoring his elder brother and younger sister, ignoring him, a middleman who is not inferior.
Until the second year of junior high, Xu Qisi, who usually always went to bed early, became thirsty not long after he lay down, and planned to go downstairs to fill water for a drink. He happened to overhear his parents chatting with his siblings in the living room.
Because of what happened in the first grade, Xu's father and Xu's mother always felt ashamed of Xu Qisi, so they didn't dare to say anything tough to him. In the past three years, Xu Qisi's attitude was very cold, so they wanted to discuss how to make Xu Qisi happy.
Xu's father and Xu's mother talked about their failed attempts in the past three years, but they felt helpless.
Xu Qixian also sighed, saying that every time he wanted to take his younger brother out to play, he was turned away before he could speak.
How old Xu Qiqi was at that time, she didn't know what Xu Qisi had experienced before, so she just expressed her liking for the second brother and wanted to play with the second brother, but the second brother didn't seem to like to play with her.
It was also that night that Xu Qisi finally noticed how much his family cared for him before.
He wasn't neglected at all, but he himself rejected all attention from his family and resented them in turn.
Later, he gradually eased the relationship with his family, and he also clearly saw the joy of his family when he released the signal of relaxation.
Because he misunderstood his family for three years, he felt more guilt and self-blame, so he never dared to tell them about it, fearing that they would be disappointed and sad if they found out.
This emotion was backlogged in the bottom of his heart, coupled with Xiao Baohui and Shi Chanan's continuous pua to him later, all his negative emotions accumulated more and more, but he had nowhere to vent.
Therefore, he chose to express in paintings.
He has always only painted warm and brilliant things, but for the first time he painted a depressing and dark picture with dark strokes.
That painting was the one that he later took to the competition, but was accused of plagiarism.
Xiao Baohui showed it to Xiao Baohui the night he finished the painting. Xiao Baohui, who always felt that his painting skills were not good enough, asked him about his creative ideas, and for the first time encouraged him to take it to participate in the competition.
Then there was plagiarism in the game.
Xiao Baohui's early life experience was relatively rough, so no one doubted him after he publicly expressed his creative ideas.
On the other hand, Xu Qisi, because he felt sorry for his family and dared not confess, was beaten as the one who plagiarized with a guilty conscience.
"Brother Wen Xi, do you think I'm really bad?"
Xu Qisi's hand gripping the bed sheet tightened even more, the knuckles of his fingertips were faintly white, and his voice trembled.
And the next moment, the back of his hand was wrapped by a gentle palm.
"Xiaoqi, you are indeed wrong in this matter, but do you know where you are wrong?"
Ruan Wenxi's voice was still calm, and there was comfort in his eyes, not like asking questions, but like another way of relief.
Xu Qisi still clenched his hands tightly: "I...I shouldn't harbor resentment towards my family."
"No." Ruan Wenxi retorted softly, "You are wrong because you are too simple and too weak—of course, this weakness does not mean to criticize you."
Xu Qisi: "..."
He raised his head slightly and looked at Ruan Wenxi blankly.
Ruan Wenxi narrowed the distance between the two, raised his hand and patted his head.
"You are too naive, so you will be deceived and used by Xiao Baohui and Shi Chanan, and you will have bad feelings towards your family after listening to their slander."
"You are too weak, so you dare not face the mistakes you have made, you dare not get out of your original state, you dare not fight for more benefits for yourself, you will only choose to escape again and again, and choose to immerse yourself In a world with only myself."
"I……"
Xu Qisi wanted to say something, but felt that he seemed to have nothing to say.
He didn't dare to talk about these things with Ruan Wenxi before, because he was worried that his dark side would disappoint Ruan Wenxi.
He didn't expect to get such an answer.
Ruan Wenxi suddenly changed the subject again at this time: "Xiaoqi, do you know why you were always easily ignored before?"
Xu Qisi was hesitant to say something, but Ruan Wenxi didn't really give him a chance to say something bad about himself: "Because you never express your own demands."
"Express... my own demands?"
Xu Qisi was still at a loss.
Ruan Wenxi continued: "Just like just now, if I didn't take the initiative to ask you, would you just plan to watch me leave?"
Xu Qisi recalled this and nodded obediently.
Ruan Wenxi smiled helplessly: "You are always like this, because you are afraid that you will trouble others, and you are afraid that others will give you negative feedback, so you always just hide your thoughts in your heart."
"But Xiaoqi, you need to know that there is no mind-reading technique in the world. If you don't say it, others will never know what you are thinking, and they will never know what you want."
"There is nothing wrong with keeping silent in the face of unfamiliar people, but in the face of family and friends, real family and friends should be honest with each other, shouldn't they?"
Xu Qisi followed Ruan Wenxi's words and thought about it, but he really couldn't find a reason to refute.
Be honest...
Xu Qisi was a little taken aback.
Ruan Wenxi's tone was softer: You love your family very much, and your family loves you very much.More than anyone else, they hope that you can have a better life and get along with you better, instead of always being at a loss like now, not knowing what to do to make you happy. "
"Xiaoqi, I'm very happy to hear your confession to me. I believe that if your family members hear it, they will feel the same as me."
"The same mood...?" Xu Qisi looked at Ruan Wenxi, his originally confused vision gradually became clear.
Ruan Wenxi rubbed his head with a smile: "I will take you home another day, and you and your family members will also confess this matter, okay?"
Xu Qisi nodded, and then asked, "What about Brother Wen Xi?"
Ruan Wenxi replied: "If you go back to Xu's house that day, I will wait for you at this house. If you want to come back together, I will wait for you at the door."
Xu Qisi recalled the scene of Ruan Wenxi watching him go home on his birthday.
This time, he didn't want to make Ruan Wenxi wait any longer.
Xu Qisi clenched his hands, and took the initiative to invite: "Brother Wen Xi, let's go together. Last time, my father said that if you are free, I would invite you back to have a meal together. And... I also want to go back with Brother Wen Xi, and Brother Wen Xi is willing." Come together?"
This time, he didn't avoid his gaze, and looked up at Ruan Wenxi slightly, as if he was a little firm in the dark.
This time it was Ruan Wenxi's turn to be stunned, and after a while, he bent his eyes and smiled, giving him an affirmative response: "Okay, it's a great honor."
Not only to answer Xu Qisi's invitation, but also to give him affirmative feedback for his rare initiative this time.
Xu Qisi added in a low voice at this time: "How about going tomorrow night?"
Ruan Wenxi raised his eyebrows lightly, and asked teasingly, "So anxious?"
Xu Qisi replied: "The painting that was sent to the competition back then... Actually, I still keep it. Maybe it can help Brother Wen Xi. I want to take Brother Wen Xi to have a look first."
Ruan Wenxi nodded slightly, and responded to his words: "Okay, then we will go tomorrow."
After agreeing on tomorrow's itinerary, Xu Qisi felt a burst of relief for some reason.
The thorn that has been stuck in the bottom of my heart for the longest time should indeed be healed.
Xu Qisi let out a breath, and after relaxing a little, a tumbling drowsiness hit him.
Ruan Wenxi looked at him and yawned just after he breathed a sigh of relief, and patted his head amusedly: "Go to sleep if you're sleepy, good night."
Sensing the temperature coming from around him, Xu Qisi couldn't help but rubbed against him again, said "good night" vaguely, and was about to fall asleep with his eyes closed.
Ruan Wenxi has seen him fall asleep within 2 minutes of good sleep in the past few days, and when his breathing became more gentle, he added softly: "I wish you a good dream."
"Well……"
Xu Qisi, who was half asleep and half awake, heard the voice, only felt familiar and reassured, and arched in the direction of his arms again.
Ruan Wenxi looked at a certain person who was honestly throwing himself into his arms after falling asleep, and couldn't help but chuckled, hugged the person into his arms, and kissed him lightly on the tip of his hair.
"It would be better if there was me in the dream."
Xu Qisi didn't know whether he heard Ruan Wenxi's words clearly, so he just responded softly "Yes", and slept more at ease in the familiar smell and temperature.
