I can't live, I can't afford to die

Liang Shiwei stood beside Xiao Xiao, looked sideways at him, and asked, "Do you still look like it?"

Xiao Xiao nodded, pointing very hard, pointing to the tree in the corner of the courtyard: "Even this pomegranate is very similar." After speaking, Xiao Xiao sat down on the edge of the building: "In summer, the tree is full of pomegranates. , a piece of bright red, very lively."

Liang Shiwei also sat down next to Xiao Xiao, and he smiled at Xiao Xiao without saying a word.

Xiao Xiao couldn't get enough of looking around, he pointed to the round plaques and asked Liang Shiwei: "Why do you put some empty ones here?"

Liang Shiwei also turned his head to look: "Thinking about when you came to live, you would like to dry whatever you like inside, like..." Liang Shiwei recalled, "Watermelon seeds in summer..."

"And the radish skins in winter." Xiao Xiao giggled happily.

Liang Shiwei patted Xiao Xiao's knee lightly, and sighed with a smile: "It's fine if you like it, and when you're... well, you can move here and don't pay attention to the disturbances and rumors in the circle. Gossip, just stay here, live well."

Xiao Xiao turned his head to look at Liang Shiwei, listening to him outline the future, he asked: "Then will you come to see me?"

Liang Shiwei turned his head to look at him, then turned his head to look forward again: "What do you need to tell me?"

Xiao smiled. He bent one leg and put his face on his knee, as if he was remembering something.He sighed and asked Liang Shiwei: "Do you still remember my name?"

Liang Shiwei nodded: "Xiao Chun."

Xiao Xiao laughed again: "Grandma calls me Ah Chun, Liang Shiwei, can you call me by my name once like grandma?"

Liang Shiwei looked at him and said in a low voice, "Ah Chun."

Xiao Xiao giggled, and shook his head: "Your bark is not good, people in Beijing speak too hard, not as soft as our people in Jiangnan, and they sound fierce."

Liang Shiwei also laughed.

After laughing for a while, Xiao Xiao was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, there was nostalgia in his leisurely tone: "Liang Shiwei, sometimes I would have a whim, if in those years, there was no Fang Yizhe, there would be no that night, if we could be like we were in Like when I killed the tiger, if I love you day by day, will it become a year? And if I love you year after year, will it become a lifetime?"

He looked at Liang Shiwei in a blink of an eye, and Liang Shiwei's eyebrows moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.Xiao Xiao didn't wait for Liang Shiwei's words to come out, he continued: "If it's an if, how can there be so many ifs. But, uncle, you have to remember," Xiao Xiao stared into Liang Shiwei's eyes, with a soft tone :"I love you."

Liang Shiwei's expression froze, he hadn't heard Xiao Xiao call him "uncle" for a long time.

Xiao Xiao smiled and turned his head back, looked at the pomegranate in the yard, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, I loved you, I tried my best, don't worry, I love you, it will fade away. After tomorrow , I won’t say that again.”

Liang Shiwei looked at Xiao Xiao's side face, he was silent for a while, and answered him in a low voice: "Okay, I will remember."

Xiao Xiao smiled, retracted his feet, patted his knees, stood up, lowered his head and said to Liang Shiwei, "Let's go, go home."

Liang Shiwei was surprised: "Are you just staying here for a while? I thought you would stay here for one night."

Finally, Xiao Xiao looked around fondly again: "It's very good here, it's great, I'm afraid I'll be reluctant to leave if I stay a little longer."

Liang Shiwei nodded: "Okay, later, when you are well, you can stay here as long as you want."

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything more, he just smiled and climbed down the ladder.

All the way in silence, when they arrived at the apartment building, Xiao Xiao took off the helmet and gave it to Liang Shiwei: "Wear it on the way back, be careful that it hurts your head."

Liang Shiwei took the helmet and hugged it in his arms. He said softly to Xiao Xiao, "Go up, it's cold at night, remember to take a hot bath before going to bed."

Xiao Xiao looked at the helmet in Liang Shiwei's hand, was silent for a while, and asked him: "Tomorrow...can I attend your wedding banquet?"
