How sweet is a candy?

This is a problem that has plagued Sihang for several years when I was a child.

He originally had a mother, although he was still too young at that time, but he can be sure that he also used that kind of warm, kind, and precious love.

But later, he grew up and began to have memories, but his mother disappeared from all the pictures he could recall.

There is only one dad who gets drunk every day, telling him day after day that he killed Mom.

Everyone told him: Mom is gone, it is very hard for Dad to take care of you alone, you have to be more sensible.

So, at a young age, he learned to do laundry, cook, and clean up the house.

After a while, someone told him again: Dad is very lonely by himself, and he needs a new mother to accompany him. You must know how to be considerate of him.

So, at a young age, he learned to hide his emotions, and happily welcomed the new mother into the door.

Later, those people said: Dad and the new mother are tired of taking care of the younger brother, but you have grown up, you must know how to help them share, and if there is anything, you should make room for the younger brother.

So, he never ate candy again.

He needs to take care of his younger brother who is less than one year old at home, and the children of his age have all gone to school, and he wants to go too, but he has to be sensible, so he can't say.

He needs to wash the clothes of the whole family. The water in winter is cold and icy, like a knife, which cuts his hands several times. He wants a rubber glove like the one of the grandma next door, but he has to be considerate. He can't say.

He needs to be responsible for the food of the whole family, and occasionally pays water and electricity bills, and the money is not enough, but he must know how to help his family share, he can't say.

But what if there is a gap in the household?

So, he learned to collect waste products with the grandma next door.

Grandma is very kind, knowing that he still needs to take care of his younger brother, so she can't walk far, so she gave him all the land in the vicinity.

Gradually, he not only paid water and electricity bills, but also had money to buy himself a pair of rubber gloves.

He originally wanted to buy another candy to reward himself, but he wanted to be sensible, so he didn't buy it.

The good times didn't last long, that day he went out to pick up waste while his younger brother was sleeping, but his younger brother woke up early, crawled around on the bed, and accidentally fell to the ground.

When Yu Sihang came home, his younger brother was crying on the ground, he was so frightened that he quickly dropped the waste and took his younger brother to the hospital.

Fortunately, my brother was fine, except for a swollen lump on the back of his head.

The new mother hurried to the hospital, examined her brother carefully, and then slapped him hard.

He knew that this was the punishment he deserved, that he didn't take good care of his brother.

But this slap was like a horn from the abyss. From then on, new mothers often found excuses to hit him.From the very beginning, it was only used by hand, and then it became a tool that was picked up everywhere.

Dad bumped into it several times, but he walked away as if he didn't see it.

On this day, he was coughing badly because of chest pain, and when cooking, he shook his hands and put too much salt.

The new mother took a bite, spat it out, poked him hard again with her chopsticks, and then took her father and younger brother out for dinner.

After they left, Yu Sihang silently took a sip of the food on the table. It was really salty, but he still ate it up, because he had to fill his stomach, and there was still a lot of housework to be done. .

After eating, he endured the pain again and cleaned up the dishes on the table and the food that the new mother had just thrown on the ground.

After doing this, his chest hurt even worse, and he seemed to have difficulty breathing.

He was afraid that he would die like this, so he wanted to go see a doctor with the money he had saved from picking up scraps.

It was getting late, and the small clinics were closed, so I had to go to the big hospital in the city center.

He didn't know if his meager "savings" were enough to see a doctor, so he could only save some money as much as possible, and planned to take the cheapest bus to the shopping center, and then walk there.

I passed a candy store on the way, which was filled with all kinds of candies. Many parents led their children to and fro, and everyone had smiles on their faces.

Although he couldn't remember his mother's appearance clearly, he felt that there was a shadow of his mother in every mother here - that kind of warm and kind feeling, he would never remember it wrong.

Yu Sihang was attracted, he was greedy for the atmosphere here, he stood there blankly, watching the people coming in and out.

Tired of standing, I sat by the flower bed by the side of the road and continued to watch.

After some time, he heard someone calling him.

"Sihang? Is your name Yu Sihang?"

Yu Sihang turned his head and saw a well-dressed woman standing not far away. She was holding a boy on her arm. She had just come out of the candy store, and she still had the feeling of a mother on her body.

"You are?" Yu Sihang asked.

The woman looked very happy, and walked up to her: "Is it really you? I am an aunt, do you remember? I came back from abroad."

Yu Sihang shook his head blankly.

"It's your mother's sister." The woman explained, then took out her phone, took out a group photo, handed it to Yu Sihang, and said, "Look, this is your mother, and this is me."

Yu Sihang took the phone, looked at the woman on the left of the group photo, and murmured: "So my mother looks like this, she is really beautiful."

The woman who claimed to be an aunt frowned slightly: "Is this the first time you saw your mother? Is there no picture of your mother at home? Didn't Dad show you?"

Yu Sihang shook his head again.

"Okay." The aunt sighed deeply, "but why are you here by yourself? How dangerous. Where's your father?"

"Father took the new mother and younger brother to dinner." Yu Sihang said.

The aunt's frown deepened: "Aren't they going to take you to dinner?"

Yu Sihang looked at the person in front of him. He was not young at this time, and he knew that he should not talk to strangers casually. What's more, this kind of person who had never met before suddenly claimed to be your relative. Possibly a trafficker.

But at this time, Yu Sihang even hoped that he could be abducted, even if he was sold to an unknown place, his life would not be worse than now.

Moreover, he had a hunch that this woman could take her away and give him a better life.

"Because I have something to do." Yu Sihang lowered his head, "I'm going to the hospital."

"Go to the hospital? Are you sick?" The aunt put her hand on his forehead and tried to check the temperature. "It seems to be a little hot."

The woman's hands were warm and moist, with a hint of fragrance.

Yu Sihang became more convinced of his thoughts.

"The wounds on my body are also very painful, and I need to go to see them." He said.

"Are you hurt?"

As the aunt spoke, she took his arm, but paused in the middle.

She looked at Yu Sihang's hand.It was a pair of rough hands with cracks on the back, not at all like the hands a child of his age should have.

Rolling up Yu Sihang's sleeves again, he saw that his thin arms were bruised and purple, full of injuries.

Auntie's tears came down all at once, dripping on Sihang's arm, which was warmer than her hand.

Yu Sihang reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Don't cry, I'm not in great pain."

The aunt hugged Yu Sihang distressedly, and took him to the hospital.

He couldn't remember exactly how the illness was treated that day, but he remembered that he was admitted to a clean and comfortable ward, and his aunt gave him a candy that he bought from the store just now. It was delicious. Extremely.

Outside the door was the sound of my aunt on the phone, and the boy inside the door was watching the TV set in the ward.

"Children who can cry will have candy and will be loved." The person on the TV said.

Yu Sihang waved the candy in his mouth with his tongue and changed it to hold it again.

He thought: Is that so?

Then he wants a lot of candy, and a lot of love, does he have to be very good at crying?

……

"Why do you buy so much sugar, eating too much is bad for your teeth." The pleasant voice pulled Yu Sihang out of his thoughts.

Guan Qi came over, took out two bags from him, and put them back on the shelf.

"Why don't you talk too much?" Yu Sihang turned his head and glared at him, "Didn't you agree that if I finish dancing within three days, you can invite me to the convenience store to pick out whatever you want?" ?”

"I mean, you don't need to buy so much candy, you can choose something else." Guan Qi explained.

"You care about me?" Yu Sihang took the two bags of candy off the shelf, stuffed them into Guan Qi's hands, and threw everything he was holding into his arms, "I want candy!"

"Okay then." Guan Qi sighed helplessly, and turned to pay the bill.

Looking at Guan Qi's back, Yu Sihang couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

He could more or less feel Guan Qi's meaning, but he couldn't reciprocate the other's affection. He had a girlfriend before, so he wasn't gay.

But he is also greedy for this love - not like Jiang Xiaodi's fraternal love for everyone; nor like his cousin and aunt's kind of love with responsibility and obligation; but only for him, exclusively for him one's love.

When the conflict could not be resolved, he had no choice but to bury this guilt deeply in his heart with his smart self, and continue to be that fool who would cry for candy.

The two of them paid the bill and returned to the dormitory. After taking a shower, Guan Qi came to blow-dry Yu Sihang's hair as usual.

He has recently practiced blowing and massaging at the same time, and his technique is getting more and more proficient. Yu Sihang thinks that he may be able to catch up with the shampoo boy in the barber shop in a few days.

"By the way, I have something to do tomorrow afternoon, so I may not be able to go to the practice room." The hair-washing boy said, "After the morning is over, if you find any problems, you can ask Liang Xiao or Mao Yu. It's snapped perfectly."

"You have something else?" Yu Sihang couldn't help asking, "Is it the same thing as last time?"

"Yes."

"Still a secret?"

"For the time being." Guan Qi nodded and turned off the hair dryer, "You will know when this week's performance is over."

"Tch, it's mysterious. I don't want to know about it yet." Yu Sihang threw himself on the bed in a straight line, and waved to Guan Qi, "Kneel down."

Guan Qi backed out with a smile and locked the door.

The next morning, the five members of the "Party Animals" group reunited the performance completely, and it was very successful. Everyone's dance moves were in place, and there would be no problem of lack of breath when singing.

Everyone had dinner together at noon, and Guan Qi said goodbye to the others on the way back to the practice room.

Mao Yu saw that the direction he was leaving was the way to the chief director's office, so he couldn't help being a little curious, and put his arms around Sihang's shoulder.Asked: "Brother Guan Qi is planning some big move with the program crew?"

"Maybe." Yu Sihang said casually.

"Maybe?" Mao Yu frowned and looked at him, "Don't you even know?"

Yu Sihang felt strange: "Why would I know?"

Mao Yu was even more surprised: "You have such a good relationship, if you don't know who knows?"

"It's not particularly good." Yu Sihang doesn't have 300 taels of silver here, "It's just that I'm stupid, and he just takes care of the underachievers."

"No way." Mao Yu obviously didn't believe it, "That Zhao Yu was pretty stupid back then, but I didn't see how Brother Guan Qi took care of him."

Yu Sihang: "..."

He really didn't know how to proceed with these words.

Fortunately, Liang Xiao, who had always been taciturn, changed the topic immediately.

In the afternoon, a director came to inform them that they should go to the main stage studio for rehearsal early after the instructional class tomorrow, because the makeup of their group is quite special, so they need to try it in advance.

Mao Yu was a little excited after hearing this, and leaned against the door and asked sweetly: "Sister director, can I ask where is Special?"

The director was very happy to be called by his sister one by one, and he directly put down the truth: "Isn't it "Party Animals"? Of course it is an animal imitation makeup."
