Chapter 21: An Unspeakable Reunion (I)
It is often said that parting is a difficult thing to face.
And sometimes, reunion is more difficult to face than parting.
Because after many years, everything that was once familiar may now have changed. Maybe in the bottom of your heart, that landscape, those people are still so flawless, quietly waiting. In fact, they may have been unrecognizable.
This huge contrast will make many people unacceptable, and the so-called homesickness is more timid, which is the case.
Just like now, Eagle Ya is standing at the door of the second uncle's house, in a daze.
The finger that was placed on the doorbell stayed for a long time, but after all, it still lacked the courage to press it.
He had promised his second uncle before that he would come to visit them as soon as he was free.
However, the matter was dragged on and on for a week, until the second weekend, when it seemed a little too much to drag on, and he had to bite the bullet.
To be honest, he was afraid, he was afraid that after seeing them again, a corner of his memory would collapse.
Since that incident happened five years ago, that conjecture, a question, like a thorn, has been deeply rooted in his heart, although it seems inconspicuous, but it cannot be ignored, and the slightest touch will make it a faint pain.
Sometimes he really prefers to be simple, like a normal teenager, and not think about so many things. In this way, maybe when I see the second uncle and his family again, I won't be so entangled.
It's just that everything that walks through must leave traces. The truth is never deviated by people's wishes.
Therefore, if you want to know the truth about everything that happened back then, Eagle Arrow will not let go of any possibility. Therefore, no matter how entangled he is, there is only one option he can choose - to face it.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and finally pressed the doorbell button.
Either way, before the truth is revealed, what to do is to be done.
"Who's it, please?" Just as Hawkya sighed, the maid's voice rang in the doorbell.
"Guess!" Hearing the familiar voice in the strangeness, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but smile again.
"It's Young Master Eagle Ya, right?" However, the other party did not have the slightest suspicion, and reported his name.
"Yo, I haven't seen you for five years, you can still hear my voice after I've passed the voice change period, it seems that you really miss me, Scarlet Sand!" Listening to this dignified and indifferent voice, Eagle Arrow involuntarily changed to a slightly frivolous tone, naturally like an instinct deep in memory.
"You think too much about Young Master Eagle Ya, it's just that Madame has already told you that you will come today, and only you will be so bored. ”
Compared with the frolicking of the eagle, the maid comrade in the doorbell was obviously much calmer, and opened the door for him without being surprised.
"You're going to make me happy for a while......" Hawkya rolled her eyes angrily, and walked inside.
After not setting foot in the second uncle's mansion for a long time, Eagle Arrow involuntarily slowed down.
Time flies, five springs and autumns have passed, and the scenery in the courtyard has changed a lot compared to that time.
The only thing that didn't change was the man who stood at the door to greet him.
"It's been a long time, Master Takaya. The red-haired maid couldn't help but bow slightly.
"Yo, long time no see, Scarlet Sand!" Eagle Arrow couldn't help but raise his hand, revealing a sunny smile.
"I haven't seen you for five years, but Young Master Eagle Ya, you have really grown a lot. Scarlet Shazi couldn't help but say.
This little boy, who was much smaller than her at the beginning, is now an existence that she needs to look up to.
Five years of wind, frost, rain and snow have carved that round and jade child into an angular teenager today. The originally fair and immature complexion is now dyed bronzed, making him look more sunny and stable.
Time can really make a person grow!
looked him up and down carefully, and Duanli's crimson sand also showed a rare smile.
"Eun, I haven't seen you for five years, and you've grown a lot!"
Eagle Ya also looked her up and down carefully, and then stared at her full bust with a lewd smile.
"I'd better take back what I just said, Young Master Eagleya, you really haven't changed at all. ”
Feeling his naked gaze, Scarlet Shazi couldn't help but say angrily.
"Well, it's been a long time, just kidding!" said Takya, laughing.
"Hehe, Eagle Arrow, you really haven't changed at all, and you're teasing Scarlet Sand as soon as you come back. ”
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Scarlet Sand, making Eagleya's smile stiffen.
"Auntie, you're here......"
Seeing the person behind Scarlet Sand, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but scratch the back of his head in a slightly embarrassed way, and laughed dryly.
Just like she said, as soon as she came back, she molested other people's maids, and she was caught showing up, so I can't think of it without embarrassment......
"Ma'am. Scarlet Shazi couldn't help but turn around, and then bowed slightly.
In front of her stood a woman, a woman who wore light makeup, but looked like she was born with a graceful temperament.
That's the second uncle's wife, his aunt, Maiko Hashiba.
"Scarlet, go and pour a cup of tea for Eagleya. ”
Seeing the painful appearance of Eagle Ya, Maiko Hashiba couldn't help laughing, and then shook her head helplessly.
"Yes, ma'am. Scarlet nodded slightly, and then left without looking back, never looking at Eagle Arrow again.
"Okay, everyone is gone, don't stare at it like this anymore!"
Looking at the eagle arrow staring straight at the scarlet sand, Maiko Hashiba couldn't help but wave her hand in front of his eyes angrily.
"Haha, it's not like I haven't seen you for so long, isn't it a little exciting to meet again......" Eagle Ya laughed dryly, then took a deep breath, looked at the amiable face in front of him, and showed a smile, "Auntie, I'm back!"
"It's good to come back," Maiko Hashiba couldn't help but pat Takya's shoulder, "It's not easy to live alone all these years, right?"
After all, even if Takaya seemed to be precocious when he was a child, he was only a twelve-year-old child at the time, and it was really sad to think about it and living alone for five years with stubbornness after going through that kind of thing......
"Well, in fact, that's it, no matter how difficult it is, people still have to continue to live. ”
Hearing her words, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but sigh, revealing a helpless wry smile.
Once upon a time, when he watched movies and novels with such abusive plots, he would also think that if these tragic things happened to him, he might go crazy. Because he is just an ordinary normal person, not a hero, he will definitely not be able to bear it.
However, when it really happened to him, he found that he had endured it, and had to bear it!
People are always driven to a desperate situation before they find that they are far more powerful than they imagined.
"Well, judging from the fact that you were still in the mood to flirt with the scarlet sand just now, we don't need to worry about it anymore......"
Maiko Hashiba couldn't help but sigh as well, then smiled again and gave him a playful look.
"Hehe......" In the face of her teasing, Yingya could only scratch his head in embarrassment, "By the way, Auntie, what about Xia Fan?"
"She's still in school, but she should be back soon. ”
"Ah, isn't it a weekend, and there's still school in session?" said Taka in confusion.
"She, she failed the class test not long ago, and she is still receiving tutoring at school......" At the mention of her daughter, Maiko Hashiba's face couldn't help but show a helpless wry smile, "This child, the more he grows up, the more ignorant he becomes." Since I went to middle school, my grades have been regressing day by day, and my personality has become more and more obedient, and I have made some indifferent friends! No matter how we persuade, it is useless to please, scold, or even ground, this child will only close the door and ignore anyone silently. If it goes on like this, it's really worrying about her future!"
"Well, a child in the rebellious period, it's not that I can't understand it, and she'll get better when she grows up. ”
Eagleya, who also grew up in the rebellious period back then, has a deep understanding of this, and this is also an unavoidable period in life.
"It would be nice if that's the case......" Hashiba Maiko sighed, "Eagle Ya, when Xia Fan comes back later, you can help us persuade her well!
"Auntie, you also said that it was when I was a child, and now that Xia Fan has grown up, I'm afraid it's not as sticky to me as it was at the beginning......"
"That's better than us!, anyway, you'll try it later!" said Maiko Hashiba.
Hearing Yushiba Maiko's words, Takaya couldn't help but smile bitterly, enlightening the children of the rebellious period or something, he really wasn't good at it. Besides, five years ago, he ignored Xia Fan, who was crying so much, and left without looking back, still sticky...... It's good if you don't hate him!
"Then please, my aunt just received a call and needed to go out, so you can sit in the house first, and if you need to talk to Scarlet Sand, you can just talk to Scarlet Sand. Maiko Hashiba patted Eagle Ya's shoulder encouragingly, then turned her head and said to Scarlet Scarlet, who was making tea over there, "Scarlet, the family will be handed over to you." ”
"Yes, madam, please go slowly!" Scarlet Shazi put down the tea set in his hand and sent Hashiba Maiko out the door.
After seeing her aunt's car go out, Takaya touched her chin thoughtfully, and then looked at the crimson sand on the side.
"Did my aunt just say that there is something I need to tell you, Scarlet Sand?"
"Yes, Master Takaya. Scarlet stood respectfully next to Eagle Arrow, and her tone could not hear the slightest fluctuation.
"Come on, chick, give Uncle a smile!"
