Chapter Seventy-Four: Making the Mistake of Demanding Perfection (2)
What also makes Luo Ying happy is that after settling down, he also has a new name - Watanabe Yi, that is before going to bed, Xiao Yi carefully wrote it in the diary, after all, in this family where Luo Ying is elusive, only Xiao Yi writes words, which she can understand.
Two days later, a little girl came to the house, carrying a pink school bag, twisting the key to open the door without notice, and running up the spiral staircase full of excitement.
The moment he opened the door, the little boy's eyes froze, this is what new parents often mention, is this the younger sister who has just returned from his grandmother's house? It turns out that she herself is better looking and more cute than the photo.
That year, her smiling face was like a meteor streaked across his heart, and she convinced him that there is a beauty in this world that is always worth pursuing, no matter what the cost, no matter how many people have sacrificed their precious lives for it, and no matter whether it will bring good or bad results in the end. As long as there is power, everyone must set sail for it.
Xiao Yi felt an unprecedented sense of mission, and this sense of mission made the dying spark in the depths of his chest burst into a huge flame in an instant.
Every day, they will ride a bicycle to go to school together, the pampered sister, no longer want a father to send a baby daughter, in order to be able to spend more time with Xiao Yi, she also spent a lot of effort to learn to ride a bicycle! Under the shade of the trees, beside the path, the puddle pressed by the wheel of the car splashed with parabola-like droplets, Luoying stretched out her slender index finger, and the water droplets were obediently attached to the fingerprints, she felt that it was full of youthful and invincible smiling faces, just looking at it, it was so enviable.
Two little beings, silently connected by the thread of fate. Their personalities are so compatible that even the Watanabe couple, who have been mentally prepared for a long time, are surprised. Xiao Yi is a self-motivated child, he loves to learn, has a heart, and loves to study. Whenever he came back late because he was participating in a school club or training for an off-campus competition, Mr. Watanabe would stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the intersection and exclaim, "Xiao Yi, it's really like his father!"
On the contrary, my sister is more naughty, often has to read comic books and see that I go to bed late, I don't like to study, and I don't like sports. This is also doomed, as soon as the end of the term, she always cries and asks her brother for help. However, for him, my sister is not jealous, she knows that no matter how good her brother is, he is the closest brother, and she will spoil herself without reservation. Every time she saw her sneaking into his room with a lot of fanfare with a bribe, holding Xiao Yi's arm and pouting, Luo Ying felt that her heart was about to melt, who wouldn't like such a girl?
Indeed, it has always been her who accompanies him, crying to him, making trouble with him, making him angry, making him care, and making him worry, between them, is there already an existence beyond family and friendship? Luo Ying can't make up her mind, but, no matter what, she is tolerant, and after seeing so many divisions and combinations in the world, she believes that fate has its own arrangement.
Time, like a ship, sends us from one shore to the other, and as long as we unswervingly move forward in one direction, whether we want it or not, we will eventually reach an unknown destination.
Seven years later, both children have entered high school, this is an important year, this year, Xiao Yi found his dream, he wants to learn computer knowledge, in the future to be able to return to the dream of the motherland, enter the military field, and contribute to the cause of communications.
My sister still doesn't have any goals, too, her family is well-off, her parents are so good and kind, what else is worth fighting for, even if she really has, she doesn't necessarily want it!
Around Christmas, Hokkaido's annual snowstorm arrives. The school announced that it would be closed for a week, just in time for the intensive final revision to begin. Xiao Yi feels that during this week at home, he can make a lot of works on his own, for example, he can make a detector to test the freshness of sandwiches in the school cafeteria. Oh, this is really a helpless thing, who makes my sister always complain that the bread in the cafeteria is not fresh, in fact, the master at most takes last night's bread to make up the number, but he will not sell the bread that has been made for several days to the students, that is too bold. However, even so, Xiao Yi thinks that he still has to be brave and take the lead, try it, maybe find out some evidence, and the principal with a strong sense of justice can resign the black-hearted boss who contracted the canteen, which can be regarded as a small contribution to the school. But in fact, even Luo Ying can see that the most driving thing is the sentence that his sister complained to him!
On Christmas Day, the house is lit up with lanterns and toys. Snowflakes are stained on the lower part of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and they can't be blown away or touched, and the beauty is moving. Xiao Yi often looks out the window and thinks that the most worthy of his nostalgia in Hokkaido, in addition to the sea, is probably snow, and the snowflakes that come as scheduled every winter ceremoniously envelop this quiet land, this land that makes him entangled with emotions and deeply loved.
"Xiao Yi, Jiang Shui, we're ready to go out!" Mom and Dad's company has a party held in Tokyo, and it is estimated that they will not come back until tomorrow afternoon.
"OK!" Sister Jiang Shui had been kneeling on the blue velvet carpet in the living room and was busy decorating the Christmas tree, and when she caught a glimpse of their backs dressed up ceremoniously and carrying large bags and small bags ready to open the door, she responded very perfunctorily. Anyway, there's a brother with a sense of security, so it doesn't matter when you come back!
Luo Ying also knelt beside her, watching her carefully hang colorful candy on the branches of each branch, that smile was still enough to melt a heart, and time seemed to make her more and more moving, like a budding flower on the windowsill of a greenhouse.
Like a ghost, she followed her to the second floor, Jiang Shui still unscrupulously pushed open Xiao Yi's door, and she saw that under the concentrated light of the lamp, he was immersed in studying a circuit board, so serious, not moved by any irrelevant sounds from the outside world. Unconsciously, Luo Ying found that Xiao Yi was already wearing glasses, and he looked like an elegant little scientist, which made people admire.
"Xiao Yi, let's go to Christmas, I've already finished the Christmas tree! Santa Claus said, today is an important holiday, allow the top students to be lazy!"
Xiao Yi looked up at her, Jiang Shui's smile was warmer than the orange light, he paused for a second, then turned off the lamp and stood up very gentlemanly.
At night, the temperature drops even lower, and the snowflakes that have been intermittent during the day are now getting heavier. With the curtains and glass doors closed, they sat around a small table by the Christmas tree, filled with festive sweets, drinks and wine, as well as muma's homemade cookies and cakes, sandwiches, fried chicken, and seaweed salmon roe sushi.
This is the first festival that truly belongs to two people, and Luoying's chest is pounding. (To be continued.) )
