Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Parting Glance

Xia Luo nested in the hotel for two days, half of which was spent mourning his tragic death, and the remaining day and a half was spent looking up the news of Xia Luo's death on the Internet.

After all, it's not a celebrity, and it's been a bit long, so it's a bit difficult to check. But the Internet shijie is all-encompassing, only you can't think of it, you can't find it, and it's also a person who has been on the headlines of the local social page, and there are still traces to find it carefully.

In addition to the news at the time, there were some related Weibo or posts.

The content of the news is basically the same as what the chef said, except for the rows of replies below saying that she was unlucky to be home, which seems to be a bit annoying.

Weibo or posts mostly come from neighbors who live in the same neighborhood as her, and most of the emotions expressed are: I'm scared, I'm afraid, I'm dangerous, I'm good.

This sentence is fully translated: A thief with a sliding door and a skid-lock in the community is terrible! It's scary! Just next door to my house, I stole something and killed someone, it's so dangerous! It's dangerous! But fortunately, it wasn't our family that had an accident, so glad! Thankfully!

Charo concluded: I'll wipe it!

Drop the keyboard and leave.

After two hours of wandering around the subway station, cars passing by on the other side of the city, and Charo was about to be considered suspicious by the security guards, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

Get in? Don't get on the bus?

It's a tough choice.

God could not explain her complicated feelings at the moment.

The car led to her parents and her brother, but she couldn't decide whether to get on it or not.

Afraid of what? Or what are you expecting to see?

The family is not saddened by her death, or is it painful?

She didn't know......

Another car slowly stopped in front of her, and the people waiting for the car swarmed up, leaving Charo alone.

Gritting his teeth, closing his eyes, and kicking his hind legs, Xia Luo finally rushed forward at the moment of zuihou.

The subway was very fast, carrying Xia Luo closer and closer to his parents and brother.

She clung to the handrail to resist the urge to rush down every time she stopped.

Every fragment from childhood to death is clearly replayed in the mind at this time.

For as long as she can remember, no matter how well-behaved and obedient she is, she can't get even the slightest superfluous glance from her parents, and she can only watch with admiration again and again as her parents coax her naughty brother with unparalleled patience.

She had no other way but to work hard and hard silently, naively thinking that as long as she was a little better, she could be valued.

However, all innocence was shattered in the third year of high school graduation.

That year, she performed well in the college entrance examination, and was admitted to Fuda University, a first-class university in the city, with a good score of 36th in the city.

However, what awaited her was a sigh and guilt.

"Your brother is going to take the college entrance examination next year, he doesn't study well, he can only go to Sanbiao University, our family doesn't have enough money, what's the use of a girl from your family with such a high education, go out and work!"

One sentence easily shattered all her innocence and expectations for eighteen years.

She stood in front of Fuda with the package on her back, tore up the admission letter, and turned to leave...... Farewell, my university!

The days of going out to work are very hard, but she is like playing with her life, and almost all the money she earns is given to her family, as if she is trying to repay something.

Then a few years passed, the city was regulated, her family's land was built with high-rise buildings, her parents actually got 17 houses, and then the housing prices skyrocketed, and the peasants became local tyrants.

Charlo doesn't have to work anymore, but she can do something.

Picked up the textbook again, passed the adult/person self-examination and was admitted to Fuda University, this time she didn't have to stand at the door and tear up the notice, she could walk in step by step......

But what she walked through was no longer the door she had eagerly awaited before.

Maybe it's because of guilt, maybe it's because of the money she mailed home in the past few years, her parents gave her four sets of seventeen houses, and the rest was given to her younger brother.

She sold one of the houses and bought another one far away from her parents, more than an hour to get on the subway.

For eight years, Charlotte has loved travel, photography, fitness, beauty, reading, music, and painting......

It's just that I don't love ...... Go home.

Until death.

The memories came to an abrupt end with the sound of the arrival prompt.

Xia Luo woke up suddenly, and walked out of the subway station with a complicated and incomprehensible mood, and the scenery outside seemed so strange at first glance, as if it had been separated for many years. Xia Luo exhaled a long breath and walked to the side.

It was a small park, very close to her parents' neighborhood, with a very elegant view and a lot of popularity. Charlotte's parents had been in the habit of visiting the park after dinner for several years, and they wanted to see them again, so it was just right to wait here.

It was not yet time for dinner, and it was still early before her parents appeared, and Charo couldn't help but feel walking along the cobblestone path of the park.

It was already autumn, and when a fresh wind blew, there were always yellow leaves that were carried down the trees and fell to the ground in a whirl.

Charlo bent down and picked up a leaf, and memories flooded back like a tidal wave again.

Her relationship with her younger brother Xia Xuan is actually not bad, although there is jealousy and envy but there is no hatred, in the past, as soon as it was autumn, she ran to pick up dead leaves under the tree with Xia Xuan, and played with the dog (note), every time she could make Xia Xuan win and cry, but in a blink of an eye, Xia Xuan followed her and screamed sister, sister.

She likes to bully him, and she won't let her play any games, and every time she sees Xia Xuan's crying nose losing, she will feel a strange sense of satisfaction, but the premise is that her parents don't find out about bullying her brother and crying, otherwise there will definitely be a lot of headaches.

I don't know if it's because she always wins him, Xia Xuan's mantra since he was sensible is: How is my sister, how is my sister so powerful. This directly led to Xia Luo's god-like existence in Xia Xuan's little friends' hearts.

Thinking of this, Charo chuckled and crouched down/leaned over to pick a strong leaf.

On the day she tore up the notice at the gate of Fuda, she wandered aimlessly through the streets, and somehow came to the river, where she stood and watched the river roll, but her thoughts did not know where to go.

It was getting dark, and Xia Xuan, who got the news from her parents, finally found her after looking for a long time, and when she saw her standing by the river, she was blindfolded all of a sudden, rushed over and knelt at her feet, hugged her big / leg and cried.

She touched Xia Xuan's, looked at the shoes that were wet by the river water, and the dried eye frames were like the shoes, a little wet.

She hadn't shed a single tear since she heard her father say those words, and finally beside the river in the dark night, under Xia Xuandi's howling and crying, she sobbed to the point of weakness.

After that, Xia Xuan changed his appearance of a thug who fought all day long and didn't study, worked hard, and finally was admitted to a second university a year later, and then a graduate student and doctoral student of a famous university......

Xia Xuan doesn't like to study, he has hated learning since he was a child, he just doesn't want his sister's sacrifice to be in vain.

However, the traces of estrangement have long been deep, and after this incident, the intersection between the two sisters and brothers has come little, not because the feelings are weak, but because of the deep nick that makes them not know how to face it. So take a step back and leave enough space for each other.

Tears slipped from her eyes, fell on the dead leaves and rolled to the ground, Xia Luo woke up from the memory violently, it was already dark, she stood up, and wiped the tears on her face carelessly.

In the distance sat two old men on a bench, the passage of time leaving a deep mark on them.

Xia Luo's footsteps hesitated for a moment...... Why are my parents so old?

The answer was in her heart, but she didn't dare to admit it.

A man and a woman walked slowly from a distance with a stroller, stopped beside the two old men, and then everyone teased the baby in the stroller together.

A family of five, happy and happy.

Charlotte fixed his gaze on the young man.

It was Xia Xuan, but it was completely different from the Xia Xuan in his memory.

Xia Xuan in his memory was a little fat man, but Xia Xuan in front of him was skinny.

Why is my brother so thin! Why are parents old?

The answer is in her heart, she must admit.

They did not mourn, but they used their bodies to reflect their grief for her death most truly.

Turning his back suddenly, Charlo leaned against the trunk of the tree, crying silently.

It was completely dark, and a family of five not far away had already left, and Xia Luo leaned on the old tree and looked at the stars in the sky with red and swollen eyes.

It's beautiful!

Feeling calm down a little, Charo turned his head and looked at the empty bench.

She straightened her clothes, walked over cautiously, and sat down on it gently, imagining the scene of the family teasing the baby just now, and laughing nostalgically.

Let's come back tomorrow, at least see what Xia Xuan's child looks like, whether it is a man or a woman, her younger sibling was pregnant before she died, and she hadn't given birth yet.

The next day, Charo came to the park early, and when he saw them sitting on the edge of the bench as he had done yesterday, he walked over as if he were passing by.

"It's so cute!" Xia Luo exclaimed, and walked to the side of the little baby and squatted down, "Boys and girls? ”

"Boy!" Xia Luo's mother replied with a smile, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes wrinkled together, and she looked like she was full of everything.

"It turned out to be your eldest grandson, he looks so smart, you are blessed!"

One sentence opened the old lady's old man's chatterbox, and the two old men took turns boasting that their little grandchildren were cute, sensible and smart, and that the little young knew everything.

The old lady also proudly said, "My eldest grandson can also do mathematics!" As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of his little grandson, "Come, Huhu, tell grandma, what is one plus one?" ”

The baby giggled and shook two fingers.

The old lady suddenly smiled, "My eldest grandson is so smart, he must be a mathematician when he grows up......."

Xia Luo pouted secretly, it used to be like this, no matter what the younger brother did, the old lady could extend countless beauty possibilities, which made people feel extremely unhappy.

Now the memories overlap, the feeling of unhappiness has crept up in my heart again, and it has always been Xia Luo's code of conduct to vent / come out if there is unhappiness, and the way she used to vent her unhappiness was to make games to win and cry brother, but now, ......

Charo smiled at the innocent little baby in the stroller, and said with bad intentions: "Come, future mathematician, tell Auntie, suppose f(x) is equal to the fifth power of ax plus the third power of bx plus cx minus one, where abc is a constant, if f3) is equal to three, then f(3) is equal to what?" ”

The innocent little doll that laughs doesn't laugh anymore; My grandson's best second elder stiffened; Xia Xuan, who had been smiling and silent, and his younger siblings were petrified...... Du Xia Luo laughed alone.

Flew a kiss at the little baby, "Come on, baby, Auntie wait for you to tell me the answer later." ”

Standing up, smiling and nodding at the second elder and Xia Xuan and his wife, Xia Luo turned around and strode away.

This may be the result she wants to see the most, the relatives mourn for her death, proving that she once existed, came and loved; However, the sorrow is only temporary, and after the grief they can continue with hope for the rest of their lives.

And she, Charo, also has a new life.

City A, I'm back!
