"I don't have a birthday. ”
"No?"
"My mom didn't tell me, that's it. ”
"It's okay, you can have a birthday with me in the future, and I will treat you to the best cake in the future. ”
"Ah, a birthday with you, no, no, I'm not a birthday, I'm not a lucky person, I won't rob you of your blessings. ”
"Your cake is delicious, you can taste it. ”
Xia hadn't eaten it yet, but she smelled the smell of cream, frowned uncomfortably, and didn't eat a bite.
"Are you staying here tonight?" I looked at my watch, it was past eight o'clock.
Xia didn't refuse this time, but he didn't speak either, I quickly said, "I won't joke with you in the future to scare you, I really have no malice." ”
"I know. Natsu nodded.
Xia hugged the doll, sat cross-legged across from me, and asked me, "Brother, do you know why I came to celebrate your birthday?"
"Why? Isn't it that no one gave me a birthday, and it looks weird and desolate. ”
"No, you're a lonely person yourself, and you can't feel desolate, can you?"
"You're desolate. Then why did you come to give me a cake?"
Xia said, "Because of my birthday, I'm going to give you a cake for my birthday..."
Before Xia finished speaking, the writer called, Xia turned into the phone and said angrily to the writer, "Listen, no one is here tonight, you must also guard, or the spittle stars in the neighborhood can drown you." Xia didn't wait for the writer to speak, and repeated his words again.
"You say, Wenhao's father is about this. ”
"What do you want to say? Do you know that your tongue hurts when you talk too much?" Xia interrupted me before I could finish speaking, I actually wanted to ask Xia, what should I do with these two children?
"What should I do? After Wenhao waited for his younger brother to start school, he went out to work so that his younger brother could go to school. ”
"I can sponsor them, isn't that older kid doing a good job?"
"You go and ask them, I guess that boy won't let you help him, has he spoken to you for so long?"
"It doesn't seem to be. "Come to think of it, Wenhao has never said a word to me, and he doesn't seem to have spoken a few words to Xia.
"Isn't this good, Wenhao's character won't let you help him, let alone give him money. If you want to help him, it's best to think about how to talk first. ”
"You give it to him. ”
"I give it to him, he knows what I am like, and I won't ask for it. ”
"Don't you think he's going to do stupid things? This kind of silent man never tells anyone what he has in his heart. "I said to Xia, in fact, I suspected the cause of Wenhao's father's death.
"Don't think about uselessness, it has nothing to do with you whether you say it or not, don't worry about it, if you can't sleep at night, is it the reason for thinking wildly. ”
I was silent for a while, but I still wanted to take advantage of the matter of the writer to ask about Xia, and said, "I'll ask you something." ”
Say. ”
"What happened behind the barn that night. ”
Xia was silent, leaned back on the edge of the sofa, and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"I just want to know. I said.
"There's so much you want to know. Xia said, and then adjusted his sitting posture, looked at me, I didn't speak, and responded to Xia with the most sincere gaze, Xia closed his mouth, pondered for a while, and continued.
"Okay, you shouldn't hurt me, that night, I couldn't sleep in the heat, I had been sitting cross-legged on the wine box eating ice cream, and watermelon, suddenly there was a voice on the street, the sound of a woman shouting, and then several men came over, forced her into a corner, that is, the wall of our bar, the woman begged for mercy, it is estimated that the men were drunk, and began to want to do something to the woman, the girl had a knife in her bag or anti-wolf equipment, anyway, the man was injured, so he got angry, and a group of men solved the woman, just like you saw during the day. ”
"What's the matter with those people, the group of people blocking you at the door. ”
"The woman was injured, seeing that the lights were still on in the warehouse, pounding the wall hard, shouting with the last bit of strength, calling the police, do you say that the woman is stupid, so many people, pretend to be dead, and shout again when they are gone, I was scared stupid when I sat inside, and I didn't dare to turn off the light, thinking about quietly going out of the house, I saw a man lying on the window and calling my name, and smiled at me, and I smiled. Not to mention calling the police, I didn't even dare to call the hospital, for fear that I would be the next to die. ”
"You know them?"
"I know, I don't know each other, they're not here, I guess they're here to play, they have a bad reputation, and even when I look through the window to see who I am, I'm climbing the wall with my clothes wrapped in my hands. ”
"What did you say to the police. ”
"I can't say I know, I don't know, if I finish, do you think I'll still live in this world? "Natsu's eyes looked directly at me, I proved a lot of things that Natsu couldn't justify his lies, at that time, Natsu and I didn't have so much tacit understanding, but we cooperated perfectly.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"If you are not afraid, what can you do if you are afraid, you have to gasp if you are afraid, and you have to gasp if you are not afraid. ”
"Have you ever been scared?" I asked Natsu.
"Nope. ”
"Really?" I didn't believe it, I opened a bottle of water again and handed it to Xia to see if she dared to drink it, Xia took it, took a sip, looked at me proudly, I tried to scare Xia again, and said, "There is medicine in it." ”
Xia still swallowed, and I asked Natsu, "Are you scared?"
"Nope. ”
"But your expression is hesitant. ”
Xia took another sip and said, "Brother, do you know why I came to celebrate your birthday?"
"I took Wenyu home this afternoon, I have been feeling entangled on the way, whether to come and send you a birthday cake, I didn't think it was necessary, I thought about it, your arm was pumped like this, I didn't say anything, and I took Wenyu out to play, and, that day I saw you catch a moth from the lamp, thinking that you were going to kill it, but you actually pinched it and put it outside, I think you shouldn't be bad, and I think you let me live for so long before, no, you know. Xia spoke vaguely, which made me understand her words, and said, "I also thought, how can there be such a person in the world, so I came to celebrate your birthday." ”
As Natsu spoke, I looked at Natsu, and there was a calm light in her eyes, and she kept looking at the bottle ornaments on the table. I thought, Xia made a bet on me, bet that I am a good person, I must come to confirm it, Xia is sure that she is sure in her heart, even if I fall out of the sleeve, Xia Du chose to ignore it, firmly believe in his own judgment, if I do something wrong tonight, the edifice in Xia's heart will collapse.
I asked Xia, "I think those old people are also very good to you, and there are a lot of good people around you." ”
"Is it? That's because they're too old, and the old can't do bad things, so they can only be kind. Xia knew about the old man's past, but he just chose to block it.
"Xia, let me tell you, there are no absolutely good people in this world, and there are no absolute bad people, you can't judge people only by good people and bad people. "I told Xia seriously, I hope she doesn't judge people by a single standard.
"I know, in my place, the person who doesn't want to harm me is a good person. ”
"You've got a lot of scope. ”
"Yes, but even if it's so wide, I haven't met a few good people, no, you're the first one. ”
"Am I so honored?"
"I'm lucky. Xia drank water and said.
I want to know the past of this girl, the place where she lives is really bad, and the things she encountered also make me feel surprised, anyone who has half of Xia's experience may leave a shadow in his heart, and Xia, from childhood to adulthood, has experienced so many hardships and hardships, falling and tormenting, but has not grown bad, there is no darkness, and he has not gone to the same as the dropout at the entrance of the alley, and has embarked on the end of the road, but is maverick, serious and studious, although sometimes silent and cold, sometimes sophisticated, but can not cover up the kind heart in Xia's heart, always be vigilant against others, do not easily believe people's words, understand the ugliness of the world, see the world clearly, but the bottom of the heart yearns for lightIt is my honor to warmly embrace the life in front of me and meet this kind of person.
"Xia, I can't sleep, let's talk. ”
"Okay, you're on your birthday, you have the final say, what are you talking about?"
"Talk about you. You should be a person with a story. ”
"Why talk about me again, I don't have it, I grew up like this day by day, why don't you talk about my brother, the story of your childhood. ”
"Then I'll say it first, and after I'll finish speaking, you say, swap. ”
"Good. ”
