Finding the Lost Float (Chinese New Year Special Edition IV)

Happiness is sometimes a very simple thing.

Looking at the girl licking and eating the fluffy and fluffy skittles like clouds, staring at her inadvertently sweet smile, the corners of the boy's mouth couldn't help but outline a gentle arc.

What a child......

He thought with some sighs, perhaps recalling the simple but innocent happiness when he took his sister to eat marshmallows in the past, not only the bad feeling caused by the girl's willfulness at the beginning has completely subsided, but also in the process of getting along with the girl, he unexpectedly had a little warm feeling.

Not bad.

He took a bite of the skittles in his hand, which were sweet and greasy, but not very tasty—but they contained a heavy happiness, a distant memory that was difficult to trace.

It is the promise of the elder brother to the younger sister, and it is also the hand of the son, and the wish to grow old with the son, and it is the only softness left by the innocent years of youth and ignorance for the hard and iron-like heart that has long been polished.

"Brother, do you really want me?"

In a trance, the glorious man seemed to see the delicate face of the girl in his memory, and watched as the pearl-like tears slipped down her slightly reddened eyelids, falling on her body and into his heart.

I don't know why, my nose suddenly became a little sour.

"You're crying." The slightly puzzled voice of the girl beside him woke him up from his memory, "I don't know why you're crying, but for the sake of the candy just now—oh, it's a tissue." ”

"Nothing, just remembered something." Amy took the tissue from Yuri and gently wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes and the tears left on her face, "Something from a long, long time ago......

"First love?" The girl looked at him with interest.

"No," the boy shook his head, "something I'll never remember anymore." ”

"What a novelty statement," Yuri narrowed her eyes slightly, her beautiful face unexpectedly revealing an elegant and charming expression like a cat, "and what a dishonest little ghost." ”

"Whatever you want." Amy shrugged.

In normal times, he might mock the girl's pretense of maturity, or argue for himself, but now he really doesn't have this mood - the girl who appears in his memory is about eleven or twelve years old, and has the same black hair and black eyes as him, but the style of dress is very familiar and unfamiliar, very different from Hemtika and even the whole world, the clothes used are not silk, not silk, not linen used by ordinary people, but some kind of more textured and softer material, The overall kawaii style is full of a warm color that cannot be seen in this world, and there is a sense of incompatibility with this world that is gradually eroded by darkness.

Who will she be?

Is it your own sister......

It's not like Yulia at all, and I can't find any traces of her in my memory.

As if it was just a fleeting ghost, it suddenly appeared in his mind and disappeared abruptly, leaving him with only a sense of emptiness and a deep sense of sourness.

Certainly, must be someone who is very important to him.

However...... but forgot that she existed.

His nose couldn't help but sour, and his dark eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"Do you still want tissues, big brother who loves to cry?" The girl looked up at him worriedly, and then sighed softly, "How much paper towel does, but ...... Walking with a crying cry at every turn, I always have a feeling that I am inferior. ”

"Please—" deliberately elongated and raised his tone, "you are not qualified to cry uncontrollably, and win the pity and sympathy of others, give me a little bit of manhood!" ”

Amy was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, the muscles in her face couldn't help but spasme.

"If you like her, you can go to her," the petite girl with an immature appearance said unscrupulously and unscrupulously said shocking words that even adults dare not say, "I don't even dare to go to her, and what do you talk about loving her—in the end, your love for her is only this level, and there is only this point of awareness, you can only feel sorry for yourself here, you can only cry here, immerse yourself in your own world, cowering, and stop moving forward--it's really ...... It's contemptible. ”

You don't know anything!

The boy subconsciously wanted to refute this, but after a short pause, he nodded silently.

"You're right, if you don't even have this kind of awareness, you will only be looked down upon." Although what Yuri said and what he thought were two things that were completely unrelated, the truth was the same, immersed in the past and self-pity, stagnating, there will be no improvement in the status quo, only real action can make up for the emptiness in the heart, and that trace of regret, "Thank you very much for the reminder." ”

"Haha, who made me an omnipotent witch, surrender to my pomegranate skirt, boy." The girl pretended to be mature and said, but there was indeed a special style between her eyebrows.

"Well," Amy just held out her hand and put it on her head in response to Yuri's provocation, "I'd better wait for you to grow up a little more." ”

- Touch.

Seems to feel pretty good?

"Amy Ulysses!" The girl's expression like a fried cat made an indescribable pleasure rise in the young glory's heart, "You'll regret it—absolutely—well...... What are you doing? ”

She took two steps back and looked at the young man in front of her with a wary expression.

"It's all become a little flower cat with teeth and claws," Amy looked at the little girl in front of her who was looking at him vigilantly like a stray cat, and shook the Skittles icing on her hand, "Look at you, it's all eaten in your face, and it's all over your face...... It's like a greedy kitten. ”

"Forget it," Yuri lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, and suddenly turned her head away, "For Skittles' sake, I won't bother with you." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, Witch, for a lot." The boy also took a step back at the right time.

"Well, well," the little girl showed a comfortable expression on the kitten's chin being rubbed, "there are a lot of adults, this word is really good, I can't see that you still have some vision." ”

"Sure enough, it's still a child......" The young Glory Man whispered to himself, his eyes swept over Yuri who was licking the Skittles again, but he couldn't help but think of a few words that he had inadvertently mentioned earlier, "Marshmallow is okay, it may be a candy similar to Skittles, but the word kawaii...... It is not possible to fully understand it, and it does not mean it. ”

It seems to refer to cuteness, but how are kawaii and cuteness connected, and is there any extended meaning...... It's just confusing.

"Amy—" The girl beside him suddenly called out his name, "I want this!" ”

"Well...... Amy looked in the direction of her finger and saw a sea of colorful colors, "It's a dream bubble." ”

"What's wrong?" Yuri noticed his hesitation, "Is there a problem?" ”

"Dream bubbles are really beautiful to accumulate in large quantities, but if you buy them individually, they are just a balloon that constantly changes color, and it is difficult to keep it for more than three days, and if you act on impulse, it is easy to breed regrets later." "Of course, if you don't mind a single hue change and a short shelf life, you can buy a few and give them a try. ”

"That'...... Buy one first, shall we? The girl hesitated, but still stretched out her finger, "The expiration date or anything is not a problem, anyway, I can have a good time these days." ”

Her voice lowered unconsciously.

"It's really a strict tutor." Amy sighed, and it could be seen that Yuri was indeed inexplicable, although she was a little inexplicable in some aspects, "But then again, I think it's better for you to go out and walk more...... It must be Dick who really imprisoned you, right? ”

"Nope." The girl picked out a bubble slightly larger than the palm of her hand from the colorful sea and played with it in her hand, "I wanted her to be by my side for as long as possible." ”

"She's your mother?" The boy asked.

"Sort of." Yuri replied hesitantly.

"You can stay with her when you have time," the young Glory Man took the change from the vendor, "like me, I don't have this opportunity anymore." ”

It's a little sad.

- Father, Mother, and Sister...... Now I'm left alone.

"I'm sorry......" the girl thought for a moment and held up the unfinished skittles in her hand, "Come, eat the candy, there's no need to cry after eating." ”

“……”

After all, how many times has he lost his words in the face of this little guy he called Yuli? But this time was different from the past, and what filled his heart was really touched.

"Ahh However, the girl's next sentence turned his emotion into powder, "I almost forgot that I ate it, and I can't give it to you, otherwise wouldn't we...... Isn't it ......?"

Her cheeks, which were as red as apples, already said a lot about her mood at the moment.

"It's okay, I'm not the one who suffers." Amy laughed happily, but only after a few breaths she restrained the smile on her face and stroked the girl's long silky hair, "But ...... Thank you so much, Yuri is really a very gentle child. ”

"Child...... "I'm not a child," a gloom flashed in the girl's eyes. ”

However, the young man nodded abruptly: "Well, it's a little adult." ”

Cut –

Yuri took a low sip: It's perfunctory.

But there is not much resistance in my heart - unlike the relationship with Dick and their care and being cared for, and different from the other people's obedience to her, the glorious person in front of her is the only one who has really communicated with her on an equal footing so far, even if the time is short, even if he always treats her as a child, and always touches her head very rudely, but the time spent with him is really, very pleasant.

However...... No one knew better than she that he would eventually disappear into the night like a meteor.

Not because of anything else, but simply because "she" wanted him to die.

So—

His life was destined to be short.

It's as bright and ephemeral as fireworks.

The black-haired and black-eyed girl silently raised her head and stared at the fireworks blooming in the dim sky.

For some reason, my heart suddenly felt a little sour.
