Chapter 001: He's Dead

Next Chapter

"Sister Rou, ...... school" Outside the door of an ordinary family residential building, a knock sounded on time, and a childish and honest boy's voice came from outside the door.

"Here we are......" replied in a soft, watery echo that was very penetrating.

My fair face, high nose bridge, bright eyes as pure as the blue sky, and long, thick eyelashes just cover the infinite spring light. The long black hair is naturally soft and combed into two natural braids.

Hearing the shouting, I was washing my face, wiping my face with a towel, quickly putting on my school uniform, putting on my shoes, carrying my school bag, grabbing two meat buns casually, not forgetting to make a grimace at my mother's helpless expression, and opening the door with a smile on my face to face the expectant face of the handsome boy in the sun.

"Brother Hao, eat meat buns."

Haoqi, who is half a year tall and a year long, is neatly dressed, with short flaxen hair that looks neat and neat, and although she is wearing a clean school uniform, she wears the effect of Yushu facing the wind, which is in stark contrast to my sloppy image.

The smell of gardenia wafted faintly in the hallway, it was his taste, and the smile on my face brought out a little sweetness.

Seeing me running out like this again, Haoqi's brow furrowed.

"I've eaten it! How many times have I told you to wake up a few minutes early and finish your meal before going to school. Every time you say yes, you don't change your words......" he said with a stiff face, his tone revealing dissatisfaction, and he walked downstairs to himself.

My moist gaze swept aggrievedly over the other party's straight back, and the delicate and beautiful smile gradually shrank.

"Brother Hao, why are you nagging like a little old man, you don't eat my ......" After protesting, he bit the bun hard, and the fragrant taste filled his mouth, and his cheeks suddenly bulged. Push your foot forward a few times, step your heel into your shoe, take a few steps, and run down the steps.

Only then did I find that Brother Hao was standing at the bottom of the steps, as if he was afraid that I would fall down the stairs with emotion. The warmth of his heart swelled through, and he forcefully stuffed another meat bun into the other party's mouth. The enticing scent wafts out and refreshes the heart.

Although Haoqi has had breakfast at home, it is left for a few days, and the cookie-cutter cake and milk look beautiful, and it is far less delicious to eat than a hot bun. He subconsciously bit his mouth, chewing slowly in his mouth, and his whole body seemed to feel warm. Suddenly remembering how Sister Rou's steamed buns were enough to eat, he took the crescent-shaped bun in his hand, and his eyes swept over my gobbling up with love.

"The buns are delicious, but it's a pity that I'm full, so I'll give it to you......," he said warmly and considerately, and the dissatisfaction just now disappeared without a trace.

I believed it to be true, no longer humble, and ate steamed buns in large bites, and followed Brother Hao, and kept walking forward under my feet.

In the early morning of autumn, the morning and evening are already cool, a faint mist covers the field of vision, and the cars are constantly honking, forming the unique smell of this big city, and the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increases.

I quickly finished eating the buns, and my oily little hands deliberately pulled Brother Hao's big hands. But he was caught by the other party, took out a tissue from his pocket, wiped it carefully, and then cherished it in the palm of his hand. With a displeased gaze swept over. I flatteringly squeezed out a little smile and fooled around like I did every time.

Our two families are neighbors, and we grew up together; play together; go to school together; Brother Hao is one year older than me.

Such an intimate act has long attracted the attention of classmates, and some people once talked about it mysteriously, and he yelled: "What are you talking about, that's my sister!" "All the waves are calm.

This shout contained extreme anger in it, and it seemed that the little beast that was provoked by it looked at each other and believed it.

Nowadays, we are both only children, and although the two have different appearances and names, our classmates take it for granted that we are aunts and cousins.

There were also troublemakers who secretly followed us after school and found that we were in the same unit, only to leave disappointed.

Since then, we have come together in a proper way. Occasionally, there are discordant discussions, and many students take the initiative to testify for us: they are indeed cousins.

This year, Haoqi was promoted from junior high school to high school, and I was still in my original school, so I can only take the high school entrance exam next year.

Even though we weren't in the same school, we were together every day. Brother Hao habitually sent me to school every day, and he went to his own school. After school, we were still tired of doing homework together.

The day passed quickly, and after school, I stayed at home and waited patiently for Brother Hao to come back.

After he finished school in high school, I often came back to wait for him, which made me very unhappy.

Maybe it's because we encourage each other to learn together, and we all have excellent grades. Parents saw that we were together and didn't interfere with learning, so they let it go.

At the moment, I can only do my homework alone.

With the turn of my eyes, I made up my mind to hurry up and study, and when Brother Hao came back, I would have the capital to show off.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps in the hallway outside the door, and soon the door next door "clanged", and soon the woman's mournful cry was heard.

These sounds were very abnormal, and I soon heard that the loudest crying was Hao's mother.

What the hell was going on, she was so sad, I strangely pushed the door open and walked out. Immediately, I saw that the other party's face was pale, his hair was unkempt, and he looked sad and desperate, and he was being helped downstairs by several sympathetic women, as if the world was over.

"Auntie, what's going on?" I asked in a panic.

The question was immediately drowned in a sea of sadness, and Hao's mother, who almost collapsed, seemed to have no sense of everything around her, and was still immersed in sadness, constantly shouting: "I'm not alive anymore......"

A middle-aged woman with moist eyes walked at the end, and when she saw the girl's puzzled gaze, she stopped and whispered, "Haoqi went to the suburbs to swim at noon and drowned......"

I'm stupid, Brother Hao sent me to school with me in the morning, how could he die?

The wailing statement told me plainly that it was true, like a bolt from the blue, my face was pale, my body was shaky, leaning against the wall, and the person was paralyzed.

At this time, my mind was buzzing, Brother Hao's favorite sport is swimming, but at this time it was autumn, and the water in the suburbs was already cool, why did he still go swimming.

"Rouer ......"

Hearing the voice, her mother Rou Jin rushed out of the kitchen.

I don't know how long it took for me to come to my senses.

I found myself lying on the bed at home, and my mother's concerned eyes looked at me, and I suddenly remembered the scene before I fell unconscious. I hope what happened just now was just a dream, and asked in fear: "Mom, what is wrong with Brother Hao?" ”

"Rou'er, you must want to open up, Haoqi went swimming with his classmates at noon and was involved in the whirlpool and drowned. It's no wonder to others about this, people can't be resurrected after death, you must want to open up. "Long pain is better than short pain, and my daughter must accept this fact.

"Mom, Brother Hao won't die, we still go to school together in the morning......" I don't believe that the honest and caring Brother Hao will disappear. Next year, I will take the key high school he attended, and in the future we will go to the same key university, and we have made an appointment to be together forever in this life, how can he die.

I cried so hard that my heart seemed to be shattered, and I felt dizzy in front of me.

"Rou'er, don't be sad, Haoqi knows that you are like this, he must be sad." My mother's eyes were red and she hugged me in her arms and kept comforting me.

"Mom, that's ...... like this"

"Rou'er, you have to be strong. Mom knows that you have a good relationship with him, but it's useless to be sad. Just now we went next door and asked, tomorrow he will be at the funeral, his parents will see him off, you have a good rest at home, I have asked the teacher for leave. ”

"Mom, I'm going too, I want to see him one last time." Putting away the tears in my eyes, I replied firmly.

Maybe it's not true, everyone is lying to me, and I'm holding on to the last glimmer of hope.
