Chapter Forty-Seven: Bai Endeavor (6)
I felt a flash of light out of the corner of my eye, and when I turned back, I saw a rather large figure standing behind the grass. The www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, Pavilion must have been because the light was too dim at that time, so Cen Xiao and Bai Yuelu didn't see Bai Endeavor standing there.
I could see him standing there, his head hooked, as if hesitating to go over. From his point of view, his sister and Cen Xiao were just sitting there with their heads leaning on their heads. Even if he had normal intelligence, he could think of it as just the intimacy of good friends.
As I thought so, I suddenly felt ridiculous: I was worried about whether the romance of two people who had been gone for ten years would come to light. If you want to worry about the ancients, I'm afraid I'm one of them.
But as a human being, how I want them to be happy. I think human nature is still kind from this point of view, no matter how much selfishness and cruelty we have in our genes.
I watched Bai Fenjin stand there and watch for a few minutes. I can't see his eyes, is it yearning, or is it curious? There is no way to know. All I knew was that after a while, he finally rubbed his arms, apparently stung by the cold wind of the winter night.
I watched as his tall figure shrunk into a small ball, struggling to wrap his clothes tightly, and strode towards home. Home, home is warm, home is comfortable.
I followed Bai Endeavour's light to the door of Bai's house and saw him knocking on the door of "Bang, Bang, Bang". Soon, the white mother greeted him and let him into the house.
Of course, I opened the door that didn't close, and easily walked into the house that had been tightly closed.
"It's cold outside," said the White Mother, "for my hard work." Did you send your sisters back? β
"Ah, that..."Bai Endeavor hesitated for a long time, "I didn't... They went for a walk, and I came back first. β
Bai Mu was silent for a moment, and then her voice suddenly raised, "Why are you like this, this child!" No sense of responsibility at all! Go and go, tell your sister to go back quickly, and don't come back until you send them home! β
At this time, a light sitting next to her hurriedly persuaded her, I guess this must be Aunt Bai who has not left yet. "Oh sister," said the light, "Endeavor him... Oh, forget it, there is no one in the village anyway, the fawn is an adult, no problem. β
I don't know if the meaning of her words stimulated the other party, or if she was a particularly strict person herself, Bai Mu didn't listen to her persuasion at all, just hugged her arms, looking very serious.
"Go! You're an adult, so you have to take some responsibility. If you send your sister home, you will send it to you. Her tone was unmistakable, and the commanding tone made me feel a little cold-blooded.
But from a certain angle, I think I can understand her. It's like in the army, the instructors are usually fierce. They want us to complete 10,000 meters, 18,000 kilometers, so they need to yell at us and scold us recruits. Otherwise, it is in our nature that we are not willing to do such hard work.
Especially in front of relatives, maybe she just wants her son to behave as well as possible.
Bai Fenjin didn't know what to say, and turned his head to go out of the door aggressively.
"Put on the down jacket! It's such an adult, I don't even know how to wear clothes when it's cold! The white mother yelled at him from behind, chased after him and stuffed a thick down jacket into his hand.
Bai Fenjin bowed his head and didn't speak, silently put on the down jacket, and then went out of the house again.
I followed him out of the house slowly, I watched him pull the placket of the down jacket tightly with both hands, glanced back, as if I was afraid that the white mother would chase him out again, and walked a few steps forward quickly.
I watched him walk almost a few hundred meters out, and I guess the lights in the house couldn't shine on him anymore. He wanted to find the White Moon Deer, and I could feel it, and he leaned in that direction, took two small steps and then stopped, and then began to spin back and forth in place.
He stayed where he was for about five minutesβI guess it felt longer in his senses, and time had always walked slowly in silence and solitude, until at last he couldn't bear it anymore and staggered down the grassy slope.
I saw him halfway through, seemed to regret it again, and turned around to go back. The big man stood there curled up for a moment, like a helpless child.
Finally, he made up his mind and walked over in a few steps. At first, he hesitated and whispered: "Little deer! β
However, the two did not hear him. Standing in the distance, I couldn't really see it, but I knew that the two of them were very close. So I stepped forward with a hint of guilt for my prying eyes.
The two men were nesting together head to head. Cen Xiao curled up in Bai Yuelu's arms, holding her arm with one hand. From time to time, the two would exchange a dragonfly or two kisses.
I've always been amazed at how much Cen Xiao relied on that young woman younger than her in her life. In my impression, she has always been an extremely intelligent, independent, mature person. However, she shows an extremely dependent side: when dealing with the village chief, she can talk and laugh, but when she goes to her house for dinner with her colleagues, she is so nervous that she keeps hiding behind others; can forcefully question the authority of the village doctor, but will eventually end up in the debate with Xiaolu.
Maybe that's the case with a woman who falls in love. I suddenly thought she was a little cute.
This Bai Endeavor waited for a while and did not get a response. So he plucked up his courage again and raised his voice a little:
"Fawn!"
The two humanoid lights in the distance abruptly separated, as if the gravitational pull between them had turned into repulsion in an instant. Bai Yuelu was the first to stand up and look in the direction where the voice came from.
Bai Fenjin waved at her, and then staggered over. I could see that he breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone was relaxed, "I'll send you back." β
"Oh, Mommy called you." Bai Yuelu didn't make too many moves, "Teacher Cen and I were discussing some just now... The question of science. β
The tall man was puzzled for a moment, then scratched his head with his hand, "Oh." β
"Then let's go." The short-haired girl turned her head and pulled her girlfriend up from the old stump. Bai Fenjin's eyes kept chasing the hands held by the two, watching the two walking in front and him following behind, but his tall figure seemed so small.
I saw three lights and shadows walking back to the door of the Bai family, and when I heard the sound of the car door opening, the light of Bai Yuelu and Cen Xiao was gone. I heard the sound of the car engine starting, the sound of Bai Yuelu turning around and telling his brother to hurry home, and then just looked at Bai Fenjin's tall but not upright figure, standing there with his shoulders crooked, watching them leave.
He stood there for a long time before turning around and walking home, the light and shadow gently disappearing at the door of the house.
