Chapter 1: The Future of Early Summer (3)
Early summer has not yet arrived, but the streets are already in the middle of summer. The colorful colors and clear fabrics of the pen and the fun and pavilion www.biquge.info the smell of summer in the air. I don't know why, Xia Youran faintly felt that this year's summer would be different, because she was very uneasy and always panicked, and all this was attributed to a woman's sixth sense by her.
After Bai Xiao went home and finished writing his homework and taking a shower, he kept shouting that he wanted to video with Bai Ze, Xia Youran really had no choice but to call Bai Ze and ask him to turn on the computer, because the time difference was twelve hours, so it was eight o'clock in the evening here, and it was almost eight o'clock in the morning over there.
"Brother Ze, when are you coming back?" Bai Xiao leaned in front of the computer and shouted at Bai Ze on the screen.
"I'll be back at the end of next month, and I'm done here, and there's only the final finishing touches left on my thesis." Bai Ze looked like he hadn't been up for a long time, his hair was still messy, and while he was sorting out his shirt, he picked up the sandwich on the table and ate it.
"If you talk to a primary school student about a paper or something, how can he understand it?" Xia Youran leaned over and said to the screen.
"Don't underestimate our family, he knows no less than you." Bai Ze said with a smile.
"Brother Ze, where is Ah Hao?" The guy who would monopolize the computer every time he videoed was not there today, which surprised Bai Xiao a little.
"I'm going to find Ah Hao just two words with me, I'm going to be jealous!" Bai Ze pretended to be sad, and quickly stood up from the computer, "Wait a while, I'll call you for a while." That guy was on duty all night last night, and he just came back not long ago, but if you want to talk to my beloved Xiaotong video, he will get up when he dies. Bai Ze smiled as he walked towards the other room.
After about five minutes, Lin Chenhao sat down listlessly with dark circles under his eyes.
"Ah, Xiao, what's wrong?" He said with a yawn.
Before Xiao could speak, Xia Youran preemptively said: "Ah Hao, what happened to you over there, how did you become such a virtuous character, I feel so sorry for you." Xia Youran was full of sarcasm when he said this, Lin Chenhao was also the prince charming in the minds of many girls, if those children saw Lin Chenhao's appearance, they would definitely cry and faint in the toilet. (As for why I cried and fainted in the toilet, I won't explain.) )
"Dead woman, if you don't speak, no one treats you as a mute." Lin Chenhao suddenly became energetic, but when he noticed Bai Xiao, who was still on the side, his attitude immediately became much gentler, "That...... Xiao, that's not the case, brother, I'm not swearing, I'm just ...... That one...... It's a bit ......"The more he tries to explain something, the more he can't explain it."
"Go away, you guy is full of swearing, I don't know if this is not good for the education of young children......" Bai Ze pulled a stool and sat next to Lin Chenhao, and deliberately squeezed Lin Chenhao to the side.
"It's just ......" Xia Youran took the opportunity to echo, with a wicked smile on his face.
"Come less, it's all your fault, if Xiao hates me in the future, I'll be done with you." Lin Chenhao said indignantly.
Because the three of them had been teasing each other, Bai Xiao had never found a chance to interject, and sat next to him with black lines on his face. Xia Youran was about to say something, when he suddenly shivered, and when he turned his head, he found that Bai Xiao next to him was staring at him. Immediately put away his smiling face, coughed a few times, and said solemnly: "Well, we know that Lord Xiao has something to say, don't quarrel with both of you." After the words were closed, he quietly waited for Bai Xiao to speak. The computer soon stopped making noise.
"I don't have anything to say, you guys get on with it!" Bai Xiao stood up and looked like he was leaving.
"Wait...... Don't go, it's rare to see you. I haven't said a few words yet. Lin Chenhao patted his face, wanting to sober himself up, "The hospital has been very busy recently, and I am so busy that I don't have time to talk to you, do you have any gifts you want, no matter what, I will buy you anything." He looked flattering.
Bai Xiao shook his head and didn't say anything.
"Are you about to go on summer vacation, do you want to come over and play for a few days? I'll have some fun with you in Boston for a while. ”
"During the summer vacation, there were swimming lessons, piano lessons, and taekwondo lessons, so I wasn't that idle." At this time, Bai Xiao preached to Lin Chenhao like an adult, although it was a fact, it was always a little sad to say.
"Xia Youran, why did you sign up for so many cram schools at once, we are still so young, don't we have no time to play......
"I asked for it, I didn't force it......" Xia Youran looked aggrieved.
"Well, because a lot of things don't know, I also want to be as popular as Ah Hao."
"You don't have to do anything, you should be very popular already, if you rely on this face alone."
"That's completely different......"
……
During the whole process of the video, Xiao and Ah Hao were chatting, and Bai Ze would always interject a few words from time to time, while Xia Youran was completely excluded, she would always say that they were white-eyed wolves every time, saying that she was a glass heart, had been injured, needed to be healed, and asked for gifts. They're always noisy, but that's it, they all feel like it's the most comfortable way to live, so no one wants to try to change anything, and they don't want to change anything.
"It's past nine o'clock, and I can go to bed." After ending the video, Xia Youran said to Xiao. On a normal day, the child would have gone to bed before nine o'clock.
"It's Friday, I don't have to go to class tomorrow, it shouldn't matter if it's a little late, I have a TV show I want to watch."
"Alright then, don't look too late......"
"I know, I won't disturb your work, your editor in charge is super fierce, don't delay the draft, so you still have to hurry up......" When talking about the editor-in-charge, Bai Xiao also made a grimace.
"You think so too, it seems that she is really fierce, and I shudder every time someone mentions her name." Xia said leisurely, then picked up the paintbrush and started working. Since I've been outside all day today, the schedule that was originally arranged has not been completed, and it seems that I will have to stay up late again tonight. At first, I chose to draw comics just out of interest, doing something I loved, and then slowly evolved into relying on comics to make a living. Cartoonists are not as glamorous as they imagined, after all, only the famous ones can get good salaries, and third-rate cartoonists like her can only ensure that they don't starve to death. Luckily, she mostly stayed at home and didn't spend much money.
She finally finished the storyboard before midnight.
When I walked out of the study, I saw that the TV in the living room was still playing, and Bai Xiao had already fallen asleep on the sofa. The characters in the cartoon show on TV are laughing exaggeratedly, and if she usually sits down to watch it together, but today she doesn't look like she wants to watch TV. She picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, and sat down next to Bai Xiao, he frowned, probably having some bad dreams. She gently stroked his forehead with her hand and whispered, "Isn't this child too lonely?" She let out a long sigh, not knowing what to do to make him happy.
She picked Bai Xiaoheng up, and the child grabbed his clothes in his sleep and said "Mom......"
After hearing those two words, Xia Youran stood in place and was stunned for a moment, although there were only those two words, it made Xia Youran burst into tears.
How long has it been since he's called those two words? Xia Youran originally thought that Xiao was still too young at that time, so as long as he replaced his mother, he would definitely be able to grow up happily like a normal child. It's just that no matter how hard Xia Youran tries, she can't replace his mother after all.
The accident four years ago, Xia Youran didn't want to remember it again in her life, although she didn't see what kind of tragic situation the scene was, but when she rushed to the hospital and saw Bai Xiao, who was covered in blood and was being infused, she had already guessed what happened. Death sometimes comes so fast that there is not even a notice, one second it is still talking excitedly, and the next second it is life and death.
Xia Youran sometimes wonders if she is also a grim reaper, because she always brings bad luck, and God is always joking with her, giving her something, taking some more things, giving her a little more thing, taking some more things...... So much so that later on, she was afraid of having something new, because she was more afraid of losing than she was of having it.
At the time of the accident, Lin Chenhao happened to be helping in the hospital, although Bai Xiao was not injured, but his whole body was covered in blood, and he was obviously frightened, and he had a high fever after that. When I fell asleep, I would wake up suddenly, and I would not let go of Lin Chenhao all the time, I refused to even go to the toilet, and I would cry all the time when I couldn't see others.
During this time, he did not mention "Daddy" or "Mommy", and at that time doctors generally believed that the child might be mentally stimulated, so some memory loss may be a good thing for him. But later Xia Youran found out that the child did not forget the incident, but just buried it in his heart. Because during that time he would suddenly wake up when he fell asleep, and then looked blankly ahead, and that kind of look did not look like a child at all.
I thought that after so many years, the impression of parents on this child should have slowly faded, but I didn't expect that this child still hasn't forgotten the beginning. Perhaps that incident was deeply engraved in the child's mind. Still, this child reminds himself all the time not to forget the incident back then.
The photos of his parents and some things before his death, Xia Youran didn't throw them away, but just carefully collected them, and one day, when Bai Xiao was surprised or willing to accept the fact that his parents were dead, if he wanted to see it, he would show it to him at that time. However, there is one exception for the things related to them, that is, the cactus on the balcony connected to Xiao's room, which is the only plant that Bai Xiao's mother feeds, because it is constantly growing, and it has changed the pot several times, and it seems that there is a tendency to continue to grow. Bai Xiao always ignored the pot of cacti and never watered it, but that guy seemed to be living a particularly good life.
Early summer is coming...... Will the ordinary life become as hot as the summer? No one knew what was going to happen, but they weren't panicking because they couldn't guess the future.
