19. Chapter 019: Parting
Charlotte didn't come to school the next day, and she didn't come to school on the third day, until the fourth day, when she panicked, took a visitation gift, and knocked on Charlotte's door.
It was Charlotte's mother, dressed in a pajamas, who came to open the door and asked impatiently, "Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, I'm Charlotte's classmate, is she at home, please"?
"She's not back for a few days."
You was stunned for a moment, Charlotte didn't come home for a few days, her mother was not in a hurry, and still asked patiently, "Do you know where she went?"
"How do I know, that kid is very wild, and will be back in a few days."
Flails lost some patience, "What if she doesn't come back"?
"Don't worry, she'll be back, it's not the first time she's run away from home."
Before he could continue, a man's voice came from inside the room, "Who, dear?" Say so for a long time".
"Nobody, salesman," he said, nodding lightly to the flail and closing the door.
Holding the gift weakly in both hands, he walked out of the door, and Cheng Haoxuan, who was leaning against the wall, looked at her, "Don't worry now, your friend is already a habitual offender who ran away from home."
"I'm still a little worried."
"Don't think too much, let's go", Haoxuan caressed You's shoulder, comforting her as he walked.
A year later.
In the past year, Yu Flail visited many times to inquire about Charlotte's whereabouts, her mother saw Yu Flail as if she saw a plague god, Yu Flail persuaded Charlotte's mother to call the police, looking for the missing Charlotte, her mother simply ignored it, Yu Flail herself tried to find the police, but the missing person case, you must be reported by relatives, the police found out that Charlotte left by herself, has nothing to do with her mother, was not framed by her mother, etc., the matter is over.
"Go up to see a friend tonight, go"? Cheng Haoxuan asked Youxuan, who had been sullen, Youfeng shook his head, and Haoxuan sat on her bed, "You've always been in a bad mood, go out for a walk, Charlotte has been missing for a year, maybe she's having a good time there."
"I'm worried that something will happen to her."
"You're so stupid, Charlotte is not a child, she is so mature in thinking, what will happen", because of the relationship between Yu Yu, Cheng Haoxuan has also been in contact with Charlotte, and he still has a certain understanding of her personality and temper, he believes that Charlotte knows a lot of things, and Yu Yu may not understand it very well.
You looked at Cheng Haoxuan sadly, unable to say a word.
Hao Xuan touched You's head with a smile, "You also know the person I met tonight, who went out of the orphanage, maybe he will bring you a lot of outside news, don't you like to know about the outside world."
"Brother Haoxuan, since I came to the Love Orphanage, you often take me out to play, and I already know the outside world."
"You've only seen the tip of the iceberg, but where else have you been in New Zealand besides this city? Let's go", involuntarily took the flail's hand.
In the restaurant, the senior looked at Yu Flail intently and exclaimed, "You Flail is getting more and more beautiful, he should be 12 years old this year, right?"
"It's full," the flail still buried his head in his head, immersed in sorrow.
"Oh, what about Haoxuan? You'll be able to leave the orphanage in one year, what's your plan?"
Haoxuan smiled, "It's the same as you, working and studying in college at the same time."
"It's a pity that the government only waives tuition fees until the age of 19, and you may have a hard time then."
"Worth it".
After some small talk, the senior's mood improved a little when he saw Youfang, and after thinking about it again, he finally decided to speak, "Youfang, the girl who used to play well with you before, has you found it now?"
"Nope".
The senior pursed the corners of his mouth, "Actually, I know where she is", Yu Fang's eyes suddenly widened.
The meadow of the Caring Orphanage.
Haoxuan whispered, "If you want to cry, cry, don't hold back."
"She clearly promised me not to take drugs, why did she still take drugs, and finally died of a drug overdose."
"Actually, it's not hard to imagine, like Charlotte's character, and she understands everything, it's only a matter of time before she gets into a bad habit, just like my friend, and now that I think about it, there's nothing to be sad about."
"It's all because of her mom, and if it weren't for domestic violence, Charlotte wouldn't have run away from home again and again, and she wouldn't have started smoking since she was a child."
Cheng Haoxuan sighed, "Charlotte's mother seems to have never given birth to this daughter, and now she has found a man to marry and is pregnant with a child, and when the child is born, her mother may forget Charlotte and the daughter of the negative man."
You flail looked at Hao Xuan with red eyes, "Charlotte is indeed her father's daughter, but she is also her mother's daughter, how can she take all her resentment out of the child?"
"Hate because of love, sometimes these emotions are extreme, and it is terrible."
"Brother Haoxuan, you don't have to say that you are so calm, when you cut off contact with Yang, I know that you are also very sad in your heart, and that friend's death day, it is not worth it, but you have not forgotten the sacrifice every year."
"Heh", Hao Xuan smiled vicissitudes, "There is only one possibility for Yang to cut off contact with me, he was adopted, and when I turn 18 next year, I will not be adopted by anyone again."
"The world is sometimes big and small, and since the missing Charlotte was able to meet her senior, I now think back to the last day I saw Charlotte, she should have said to me, if she is gone, what should I do."
"What else can I do, live well, okay, don't cry", Haoxuan said while caressing Youxuan's head lovingly, comforting softly, Youxuan leaned on Haoxuan's shoulder, silently shedding tears.
Flails and the girls stood in the hall, lined up in a regular manner, and let the adopters choose, and every time at this time, Flails prayed in their hearts, don't choose her, as long as she is still in the orphanage, Su can rely on clues to find her.
The same fate seems to overlap, and the adopter refuses to choose another one, so the flail can only compromise.
Cheng Haoxuan, who was standing beside the bed, looked at Yu Flail with some sadness, and watched her slowly and methodically pack her things, "Yu Flai, when you arrive in a new environment, remember to write to me to report your safety, don't be like Yang and cut off contact."
"I'll write a letter when I'm settled", Yu Flails also looked at him sadly, and the communication with Lin Shangmei was interrupted with Yang's disappearance, she wanted to ask Lin Shangmei if she knew Yang's whereabouts, but she couldn't ask, Yu Flai's heart was deeply understanding Haoxuan's feelings, "Brother Haoxuan, thank you for taking care of me in the past few years."
"Heh", Hao Xuan touched her head with some tears in his eyes, "Yang is like my brother, you are like my sister, my brother should take care of you."
"I know that Brother Haoxuan, like me, grew up in an orphanage, so he longs for family affection."
"So don't forget Brother Jì, remember to write letters".
"Well, I promise", Yu Xuan smiled and stretched out his hand, Hao Xuan hooked his fingers with her, and when the fingers of both sides touched together, both of them shed tears.
