Prologue
Although the summer sun is always so scorching, in the early morning, it gives people a feeling so refreshing, and it is precisely because of this that on such days, people prefer to face the cool breeze in the morning exercise, or sit in a roadside stall and watch the people come and go compared to shopping in the scorching sun in the broad daylight. Although it is inevitably suspected of wasting time, it is indeed a different kind of life.
A gentle ray of sunlight poured down through the gap in the curtains, shining on the face of the girl who was sleeping soundly, but it added a bit of cuteness to this girl who didn't look big. It seems that his eyes, accustomed to darkness, are a little uncomfortable being teased by the morning sun. The girl's eyelashes fluttered and moved lightly a few times before they opened, but the girl didn't seem to want to accept the fact that she should get up, and closed her big eyes again, and hugged the doll next to her who was a person tall, and her pretty face was still rubbing against the doll's fluffy body, looking reluctant.
"Xiao Xin! Get up! ”
"Oh......" The girl answered, but buried her head in the soft body of the doll, and said in a muffled voice: "I know ......" After a moment, the girl sat up suddenly, rubbed her eyes, jumped off the bed and muttered to herself while making up the futon: "What...... Counting little sheep doesn't work at all, and Xiao Heng's method is not good at all...... I really want to sleep a little longer~ Even if I eat one less piece of candy! ”
Having said that, the girl still opened the curtains and the window. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew in, making the girl, who was still a little confused, immediately feel a stir and completely sober.
"It's so cool!" The girl took a deep breath, smiled lightly, closed the screen, and turned to walk to the bathroom. After the daily necessary washing, the girl waved her small fist at herself in the mirror, "It's a new day, come on Cao Xin!" ”
The above scene basically happens once a day, probably because this girl is so natural, although the biological clock called her, she is not necessarily sleepy, but she just wants to lie down for a while, waiting for her parents to call before getting up, which can be regarded as a strange characteristic.
"Good morning sister~"
"Well, Xiao Heng also has good morning~" Cao Xin touched his brother's head, "Let's eat." ”
"Hmm!" The little boy Cao Heng nodded heavily, picked up the chopsticks again and ate them, "Sister eats too~"
"Okay." Cao Xin smiled, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish.
"Oh, a glass of milk per person, and eat less for breakfast." When the sister and brother were busy picking up vegetables, their mother Xu Fang walked over, put the cup in her hand in front of the two children, and then pulled out the stool and sat down, "Xiao Xin, did you sleep soundly last night?" ”
"Hmmm! Fragrant! ”
"What about Xiao Heng?" Xu Fang looked at Xiao Cao Heng again.
"Humph!" Xiao Cao Heng suddenly turned his face away, "It's not fragrant at all!" ”
"Oh?" Xu Fang smiled, "But I think my good son sleeps quite soundly!" Mom called you this morning for a long time before you would get up! ”
"It's not fragrant anyway." Xiao Cao Heng turned around and looked at Xu Fang again, "I want to sleep with my sister!" ”
"Oh~~" Xu Fang looked suddenly enlightened, and rubbed Xiao Cao Heng's head with a smile, "It turns out that you little ghost hit this idea...... But no! You're too young......"
"I'm not too small!" Xiao Cao Heng angrily pushed away Xu Fang's claws, "I'm seven years old!" ”
"Good, good...... Little baby is not small...... But your sister is too old to sleep with you~"
"My sister is only thirteen years old, not too old at all!"
"Hehehehe......" Xu Fang laughed out loud all of a sudden, and even Cao Xin almost squirted out the milk, "Baby...... What is your reasoning? My sister is thirteen years old, are you only seven years old? ”
"No......" Xiao Cao Heng showed a sly smile, "I didn't say that I was big, nor did I say that my sister was small, I just said that my sister is not big, and I am not small." ”
"What's the difference?" Xu Fang was a little speechless.
"Yes!" Xiao Cao Heng laughed again, laughing very happily and weirdly, "I said that my sister is not big because there are bigger than my sister, and I said that I am not small because of ......"
"Okay, okay, mom got it." Xu Fang was so taken by Xiao Cao Heng that her brain was about to turn around, "But your sister is going to high school, you, a first-grade elementary school student, will disturb your sister's study......"
"Wouldn't it be nice if I skipped a grade too?"
"First grade?" Xu Fang was a little crying and laughing, "Jumping to the first year of high school? ”
"Mom, don't underestimate first-grade elementary school students, Conan is only in the first grade, but many adults can't compare to him!"
"Really?" Xu Fang looked incredulous, "When did such a powerful elementary school student come out?" Why haven't I heard of it? Seeing Cao Xin holding back a smile in a blink of an eye, Xu Fang suddenly understood, "Forget it, as long as your sister agrees, your mother will let you go to your sister's place to sleep." ”
"Sister~~" Xiao Cao Heng immediately turned his head and looked at Cao Xin with a pitiful look. "Okay, sister, no opinion."
"Okay!" Xiao Cao Heng almost lifted the table, "Then mom, let's move my quilt to my sister's house now!" ”
"Now......" Xu Fang knocked on the table angrily, "sit down and eat obediently, otherwise the agreement just now will be invalid." ”
"Oh......" Hearing this, Xiao Cao Heng calmed down suddenly, and obediently picked up the cup and took a sip of milk.
Looking at his cute younger brother, Cao Xin couldn't help but smile.
It was a very warm smile.
……
The high school entrance examination is over, and the junior high school students who have been made weirdly nervous by their parents and teachers can also breathe a sigh of relief temporarily, finally no longer have to hold books all day, can finally play with the computer at home, and can finally buy some things that they didn't dare to buy before...... Although the more serious three years are just around the corner, most people are thinking about how to play rather than stepping up their studies to cope with the new curriculum of high school...... After all, we are still children, and it is our nature to play with them, and learning is just a forced response.
But it's a pity that Cao Xin is not among them, this thirteen-year-old girl will go downstairs to the park to run a few laps after breakfast every day, and when she is done, she will go home to read the high school textbooks borrowed by relatives, pick up her younger brother to school at noon, go to the high school preparatory class in the afternoon to make up for the class, and then pick up her younger brother home after making up the class, and then go to her grandmother's house to visit the old man in the evening, and then go home to sleep, very regular and boring, of course, in a few days Xiao Cao Heng will also have a holiday on her schedule There will be one or two fewer activities on her schedule, but now...... She is still waiting for Xiao Cao Heng to get out of school.
"Xiao Heng? Xiao Heng, how did you become like this? Cao Xin touched the bruises on Xiao Cao Heng's face with tears in his eyes, and said distressedly: "Tell my sister, who bullied you?" Sister gives you a head start! ”
"Sister." Xiao Cao Heng looked at Cao Xin, not crying or making trouble, his eyes were very firm, not like a seven-year-old child at all, "I want to learn martial arts." ”
"Tell my sister first, who beat you like this?"
"Sister!" Xiao Cao Heng's tone was a little heavy, and his deep heavy pupils were directed into her eyes, "I want to learn martial arts." ”
"......" Cao Xin looked at Xiao Cao Heng blankly, and only closed his eyes and turned his head sideways after a while, "Okay, my sister will find you a taekwondo gym with my mother tomorrow......"
"Nope." Xiao Cao Heng shook his head, "I want to learn martial arts, learn real martial arts!" ”
"But......" Cao Xin looked bitter, "Xiao Heng, you must know that it is too difficult to find a master who really knows martial arts in the current era." ”
"It's okay." Xiao Cao Heng seemed to be stimulated by something, and he was determined to learn martial arts, "If I can't find it, I'll first pull the horses myself, and then talk about the rest...... Sister! You're going to help me! ”
"......" Cao Xin looked at Xiao Cao Heng's stubborn face and was silent for a long time.
……
The most precious thing in the world that no one cherishes is time. After a few years of cold and summer, the little girl who was a little immature back then has become a slim beauty. may be genetically excellent, the girl is 1.76 meters tall, and her legs account for nearly two-thirds! Plus the face that was already very standard...... Even Nanjing University, where she is studying now, is one of the best in terms of appearance! And that's not all! Cao Xin's personality is originally very gentle, and she can play the scorched tail, if she changes into an ancient costume, she will be a classical beauty! I think when she was running for the head of the student union propaganda department a few days ago...... Tsk, the votes of the other candidates add up to a fraction of Cao Xin's! Although not all of the candidates are women, this is enough to say something. Not to mention the seniors and seniors in the third and fourth years, even if they are freshmen just reported, there are few who have never heard the name Cao Xin!
As for Xiao Cao Heng...... He also got his wish and worshipped a master who practiced Hongquan as a teacher, which is strange to say...... The old master had never mentioned his master to Cao Heng, if it weren't for Cao Heng's mistake to make the old master angry and make him kneel in front of the ancestor spirit to repent, I'm afraid he wouldn't know that his master was actually a disciple of Bao Zhilin.
Bao Zhi Lin !!
Cao Heng was shocked at that time!
Master Zu is Huang Feihong?!
Who wouldn't be surprised? Who isn't excited?
So Cao Heng couldn't hold back for a few days, and seized the opportunity to grind and soak, begging the master to teach him Foshan Shadowless Feet.
However, the master said: Foshan has no shadow feet? No. Only hands-on work.
Later, Cao Heng learned that what Foshan Shadowless Feet are all film art processing, and the real Huang Feihong is the grandmaster of Hongquan, and his leg kung fu is not as strong as his hand kung fu.
Speaking of which, Cao Heng's child is simply the reincarnation of the overlord, not only has infinite heavy pupil power, but also learns everything quickly, especially the talent in martial arts, which can be called a demon! In only five years, he can compete with the master. And don't forget, he's only twelve! Of course, no matter how talented you are, you have to practice kung fu diligently. As for the time he spent practicing martial arts...... Cao Heng took a break from school at home, and only waited for the elementary school exam to finish and continue to suspend his studies - he completed the task that no one believed in back then: jumping from the first grade to the first year of high school...... Of course, in order to practice martial arts, he didn't really skip a grade, but just finished the courses before college. In addition, I have to say that Cao Xin was able to be admitted to Nanjing University, and Cao Heng contributed a lot, because Cao Xin's sophomore and third years of high school were tutored by Cao Heng.
In this regard, Cao Xin said that he was very happy. This kind girl loved her brother very much, and she was proud of what he had achieved. Therefore, once this shy girl talks about her brother, the conversation box cannot be closed, as now......
"Where's that...... In fact, my grades are very average, and I can only get in with the help of my brother! ”
"Senpai's younger brother? Haven't heard anyone say that...... What department is he in? ”
"How many times have you said it, don't call me senior sister, just call me Xiaoxin, we're generally big."
"Okay, senior sister." The girl sitting next to Cao Xin nodded solemnly.
"Xiaoxue, you are really ......" Cao Xin looked at the girl's big flashing eyes, and was a little speechless, "Forget it, you don't care...... Actually, my brother hasn't even started junior high school yet! ”
"Huh?! Or a schoolboy? The girl was a little surprised, "Isn't he also a genius?" ”
"That's ......" Cao Xin, who was being proud, suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with the other party's wording, "Huh? Why do you say 'too'? ”
"Because Mo Si is also a genius." The girl's face was full of happiness, "He taught me to learn from childhood to adulthood!" He seems to know everything! He also made a lot of inventions, and I've seen a few...... It's amazing! He also gave me a mobile phone that he modified with his own hands, senior sister, do you want to take a look? ”
"No, no, no." Cao Xin pressed her hand that was already digging out the cloth pocket, "That's your boyfriend's love token!" Be sure to put it away and don't take it out easily. ”
"What kind of love token...... The girl's face turned red all of a sudden, and she peeked not far away, and saw that the boy named Mo Si was chatting happily with another boy, so she breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Cao Xin viciously, "Senior sister, what are you talking nonsense?" ”
"No......" Cao Xin showed a playful smile, "You are childhood sweethearts, I envy ......"
"What is there to envy...... the girl asked with a red face, "What about Senior Huatian?" Didn't you give the senior sister a love token? ”
"I didn't ......" Cao Xin touched the diamond brooch on his chest with some weakness, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at Mo Si, but he happened to be staring at the boy who was talking to Mo Si.
The boy smiled and raised his glass.
'Hey, he's not going to see it......
Cao Xin blushed suddenly.
……
"Sister...... Sister! Don't sleep yet! You get up and look at this! ”
Cao Xin rubbed his eyes, which were a little swollen from working overtime for days, and yawned, "What's wrong, Xiaole...... I'm so sleepy, I'm so tired from working overtime these days......"
"Sister!" The man took out his mobile phone and slapped it on the table, "Sister, don't sleep!" If you can still sleep after watching this, then go back to bed and sleep, don't sleep on the table! ”
"What......" Cao Xin slowly took the mobile phone with the "Gallery" open and looked through it...... In a moment, the drowsiness is completely lost! I saw her eyes widen, shaking her head slightly, her lips twitching and she didn't know what to say. For a long time, as if the soul had left the body, there was no trace of brilliance in the empty eyes, and tears could be faintly seen flashing, "Xiaole, you tell me this ......"
"It's true!" He interrupted Cao Xin's fantasy and smashed her hopes, "Sister! Qiao Huatian, that negative man, is already married to someone else! Don't ...... anymore."
"Little Fun!" Cao Xin suddenly shouted, "Xiaole...... This...... When did this happen? ”
"Yesterday afternoon's banquet."
"Yesterday?" Cao Xin seemed to have heard something incredible, "But...... But he was still ...... last night Also ......"
"What?!" The man seemed to know what Cao Xin was saying, his face turned red, and he slammed the table and punched, "That brute! I...... I...... I fucking slaughtered him! ”
"Little music! Little Fun! Cao Xin grabbed the man's arm, his eyes were full of helplessness, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Sister, don't stop me!" That person's strength is not very large, but it is not comparable to Cao Xin, a weak woman, so she was pushed on the sofa all of a sudden.
"Don't ...... Don't embarrass him......"
Cao Xin was answered by a loud closing of the door.
"Hua Tian ......" lay on the sofa for a long time before Cao Xin remembered to call the main owner, "You ...... You tell me that you are not married to a man named Ye Mei...... Tell me, okay? ”
“……”
It was quiet on the other end of the line, and the silence was terrible.
"Tell me!" Cao Xin cried and yelled.
"......" There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while,
"I'm sorry...... Xiao Xin, I ......"
The world seemed to lose its luster all at once, and the heavy air made it difficult for the weak girl to breathe, and before she knew it, her phone slipped to the ground, and she also fell limply on the sofa. She covered her mouth tightly, trying not to cry out loud. But I don't know, I can cover my voice, but I can't cover my heart.
After about five minutes, Cao Xin walked with red and swollen eyes and locked the door, and then returned to the desk to write a few lines:
Grandma, I'm sorry.
Dad, I'm sorry.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Xiao Heng ...... I'm sorry......
Cao Xin put down the pen and touched Cao Heng in the frame again, tears slid down his face, but he showed a gentle smile, a smile without the slightest anger...... A desperate laugh.
She took off the diamond brooch she had been wearing, took the sharp end, and slashed through the artery in her wrist......
Blood, red......
That's the color of despair......
