It was a memory that had been dormant for a long time......

When I was a child, I was extremely lonely.

My mother died of a special disease that could not be treated before I could remember, and my father told me.

I didn't question the veracity of my father's language, but it was futile to question. Even if his mother is still alive, he doesn't have the energy to accept a mother who has no feelings for him.

My father's job was that of an ordinary news reporter, that is, a reporter who came and went in the wind and rain all day long.

However, the newspaper where my father worked was doing very poorly. Yes, newspapers that are still resting on their laurels in this era of innovation are destined to be drowned by the torrent of the times.

Unfortunately, his father's brain was not as bright as the newspaper, and he stubbornly chose to stay and save the newspaper instead of quitting his job and looking for another job.

Because of my work, my father spends a lot of time with me. Sometimes we can see each other every day, and sometimes we don't see each other for a long time.

Due to the unstable hours of my job and the ups and downs of the newspaper, my father was always hot and cold and moody to me.

Although it didn't reach the level of turning his face and not recognizing people in an instant, that kind of experience made me feel an indescribable sense of loss when I was still young at the time.

In order to satisfy the loneliness and confusion in his heart, he set his sights on school.

School is a small social environment, and it seems more fair to me, who is born with a deficiency.

As a result, I continue to expand my circle of friends, and when I meet someone who is in love, I will take the initiative to get acquainted.

I have gradually enjoyed the relationship between my girlfriends and friends, and it is obvious that the stable and long-term campus relationship is more attractive to me than the fickle atmosphere in the family.

However, his young self was short-sighted and had never tasted betrayal, which made him more vulnerable to a fatal blow when he experienced betrayal.

- Your best friend betrayed you! She even kindly held the hand of another best friend, slandered herself in front of the whole class, and dissociated herself from herself.

I couldn't stand the betrayal of my best friend, and I became nervous during that time.

It was also the darkest period when I was in elementary school.

Later, in the process of constantly getting along with various people, I learned how to treat people without a teacher.

At that time, I defended myself with a sentence that I don't know who said it. ——When you meet people, you can only say three words, but you can't throw away all your hearts.

One day, a word from his father broke his relatively stable life.

"Xiaoling, tomorrow Dad is going to the outside of the capital to seek more fresh material for interviews. You may not be able to come back for half a year, so you have to be careful by yourself. His father said so.

I couldn't do anything but nod silently.

Before leaving, he left behind what little savings he had.

In the days that followed, I lived alone in an empty commercial house for a few months.

I unexpectedly found that living alone was not as difficult as I imagined, but I did not blame the person who betrayed me, and there was no sense of restraint at all.

The basic interpersonal relationships at school can be maintained for a long time with a little effort, and as soon as I get home, it will be my own party......

It was a stormy night.

Although it was dark outside the window, the rain was loud.

Rainy days always make me feel a sense of comfort, and compared to the indifference of the human race, the raindrops that insist on their hearts make themselves more trusted.

The unpruned orchid by the window has wide leaves and stems full of dew.

Stretch out your palm and feel the cool water pass between your fingers.

When I'm bored, the sky I look at is blurry.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The hurried knock on the door made his heart sink and he became wary.

The people who can visit at this time are either ill-intentioned or unreasonable.

He cautiously moved behind the door and carefully turned on the communication device.

"Hello, please explain your intention and the necessary supporting information." A mechanical female voice came from the door.

That's the Federation's smart gating technology.

"I'm here today to see a little girl named Yu Ling, who is my brother's daughter, and I am her uncle." A husky baritone voice came from outside the door.

I peeked through the door through the camera and saw the man's appearance.

Suddenly, my heart chuckled, and my heart beat faster.

It was a face that was very similar to his father's, but it seemed more mature than his father's.

Keep a vigilant mind and enter commands on the smart panel yourself.

"The owner already knows the basic information, why are you coming to see your niece?" The mechanical female voice continued.

"Yu Ling, I know you're behind the door. Please stay calm and listen to me. "The people outside the door don't pay attention to the smart gating.

There's not much to do anyway, so listen to the nagging of this man who claims to be his uncle.

Thinking of this, I sorted out my mood and stood at the door.

"Your father has been declared missing by his companions half a month ago, and if there is no proof of your father's geographical location within the next month, then he will be determined to be missing."

Hearing this, he suddenly opened the door of his house and yelled, "What does this mean? You came to my house in such bad weather, just to say this? ”

"Niece Yu Ling, don't be in a hurry, I haven't finished yet." The man outside the door did not panic, but said calmly.

"Once a person is judged to be missing, all his assets are temporarily handed over to the government unless there is a valid explanation prepared in advance. Fortunately, his younger brother kept an eye on him, and he wrote down a proof. If he goes missing, he will mortgage all his assets and auction them, and leave his only daughter in my care for the time being. In order to fulfill my brother's long-cherished wish, please feel free to come with me. ”

I was stunned for a while, and I didn't react for a long time.

Later, I obediently followed the person who claimed to be my uncle.

After all, no matter how capricious you are, you still can't maintain your exclusive paradise without financial resources.

That was my first loss.

Himself moved from the periphery of the capital to the suburban residential circle of the capital.

The house has changed from an ordinary commercial house to a very atmospheric villa, and the school has become taller than before.

The uncle took himself to a new family.

There are three members of the family...... Not counting themselves, there are four in total, an aunt, an uncle, themselves, and a cousin, who is their only child.

At the door stood an aunt with beautiful eyebrows, and a cousin who was a head older than me.

"Yu Ling, this is your cousin Yu Chen."

"Yuchen, this is your distant cousin Yuling, she will be our family in the future, you have to live in harmony with her in the future."

My cousin and I both gave a symbolic "um".

The following days were the days when the family of four maintained together.

His external performance is very good, and his uncles and aunts often praise him.

Obviously, my aunt and uncle treated me very well, but I was afraid that excessive affection would bring unnecessary trouble, so I chose to downplay my feelings.

The withered self in his heart gradually became a little numb, although he looked cheerful and obedient on the surface, but the self behind him had already withered.

What surprised me was that my uncle and aunt treated me no differently than my cousin, but let my cousin let him do everything for himself.

My cousin is a very optimistic person, and even if he accidentally falls and scrapes his skin, he will laugh strongly.

I can feel that he is genuinely good to me and treats me as my own sister. Every time the family went out to play, he always followed me and protected me in all directions.

Yu Chen: "Yu Ling, remember to follow me, don't get lost." ”

Himself: "Cousin, you're too worried, I'm a teenager, and I'm not that kind of ignorant kid anymore." ”

Yu Chen: "In my eyes, Yu Ling will always be a child. ”

My cousin's unabashed smile and sincerity made him both admirable and jealous.

This seemingly strong but actually fragile relationship was interrupted by God......

It was also a rainy night.

The four members of Yuchen's family ate around the dining table on the first floor.

"Feather Dust, Feather Spirit, I'm sorry! There's one thing that has been dragging on and not telling you both. Auntie looked embarrassed.

Based on your instincts, something bad should be going to happen.

The uncle stopped the fork in his hand and said, "Tomorrow the two of us will set off from the capital to a relatively remote area to carry out a secret mission, and we may not have the opportunity to return to the capital for a long time." ”

Although he had a hunch, he was still very uncalm, and hurriedly said, "Then should Cousin Yuchen and I stay at home all the time?" ”

"That's the best thing to do so far, you're all still in school, and we can't interfere with your studies because of our work."

As if seeing his scruples, the uncle continued: "It's okay, although that task is important, it is not very dangerous. We will both return to the capital safely. ”

"Then Mom and Dad have to be careful, I wish you all a smooth journey." Cousin Yuchen showed a calm that surprised me.

Why? According to common sense, it is clear that they have a closer relationship with you! But why is it that I'm the one who is most afraid of losing them and not you?!

"Then you both have to be careful, especially Xiao Ling. Yuchen, you must take care of your cousin when you are about to become an adult, don't let people bully you. "Auntie looked at us worriedly.

Yu Chen patted his chest confidently and said, "Don't worry, if you want to move Yu Ling, you have to step over my body first." ”

"Oh, I almost forgot, we used a little relationship to let Xiaochen be admitted to the famous academy [Canghai Academy] in advance, and Xiaoling also asked the school to transfer to the best class, you two don't waste your studies, study with peace of mind."

In the end, he was forced to make a summary: "Uncle and aunt, we understand." ”

After the affairs were explained, the next morning was the last time to say goodbye.

Facing the rising dawn, my uncle and aunt walked out of the villa with a large suitcase of luggage, and Cousin Yuchen and I followed behind them.

We were sent all the way to the clearing, three kilometers away.

At this time, the aunt turned her head and smiled: "Just send it here, there will be a special person to pick it up soon." It's still early, so you two go back and sleep for a while. ”

We nodded, reluctantly turning around and going home.

Halfway through, I had mixed feelings.

"Alright, the farewell is complete." Yuchen's eyes looked straight at me, "Then I'll take care of your best cousin for the rest of your life." ”

"Who's the best with you, don't be sentimental." He cruelly dropped a hurtful word and turned back to his room.

This was my second loss.
