On the way home.

"I'll cheer you on this competition."

Zhou Shiyan said suddenly.

At this moment, the two of them were walking on the way home, and after school in the evening, the two went home together, looking at Liu Zhiyue's sluggish appearance along the way, Zhou Shiyan's heart was actually a little worried.

In physical education class, the teacher was very satisfied with Liu Zhiyue's long-distance running, even if he deliberately pretended to be unable to run, but he was seen through at a glance in front of the professional.

After all...... When running, although he pretended to be panting and couldn't run, he didn't sweat a lot, and his lips were stuck, and his face was pale.

The physical education teacher, who was accustomed to seeing this kind of scene, rejected Liu Zhiyue's proposal that he didn't want to participate, and resolutely reported three to him.

100-meter race, 5,000-meter race, and ...... Triple jump.

The rest of the items were randomly picked up by a few unlucky eggs.

Originally, the head teacher handed over the selection to the physical education teacher, and he didn't expect to win any awards in this sports meeting.

After all...... He knows best about his own students.

Just get the number of applicants.

Zhou Shiyan said that she wanted to cheer for herself, which made Liu Zhiyue, who was walking on the side, a little surprised, he looked to the side and found that Zhou Shiyan was looking at him with a serious expression.

It can be seen that she is serious.

didn't wait for Liu Zhiyue to speak, but he heard Zhou Shiyan's voice beside him again.

"After discussing with a few other students in the class today, we decided to form a cheerleading team."

Well?!

Although Zhou Shiyan said this sentence in a very flat tone, it meant something different to Liu Zhiyue's ears.

Cheerleading?

In the first two years of the sports meeting, Liu Zhiyue was still a little impressed.

The cheerleaders he has seen, one by one wearing specific uniforms, holding two groups of cheerleading hand flowers, jumping up and down, exuding a youthful atmosphere......

Then shouted in unison [XXX you are awesome, XXX come on!] 】

His gaze moved down involuntarily, Liu Zhiyue's gaze moved down from Zhou Shiyan's face uncontrollably, and a picture appeared in his mind that should not have appeared.

"Poof!"

Hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and pretended to wipe his mouth, he almost choked on his own saliva.

This move made Zhou Shiyan a little puzzled.

Liu Zhiyue hurriedly turned his gaze to the side, looking at the night sky with his head held high, looking indifferent.

But the ruddy face that was different from usual proved that his heart was not at peace at the moment.

"Both...... Since you are so attentive and have specially formed a cheerleading team, then I will work hard this time and strive to win the first place. ”

"Well, come on."

Zhou Shiyan nodded in response, and then stopped looking at Liu Zhiyue, looking forward, walking at a uniform pace.

This made Liu Zhiyue a little uncomfortable.

Although it was not the same conversation as expected, he didn't take the initiative to say anything, and sneakily glanced at the short Zhou Shiyan.

In my head...... The other party appeared in a cheerleader uniform cheering for himself......

Soon arrived at the destination, and after saying goodbye to Liu Zhiyue at the door, Zhou Shiyan opened the door and entered the house.

Liu Zhiyue didn't stay too long, turned around and left this place.

Zhou Shiyan, who opened the door to go home, saw Lan Yixian, who was sitting at the head of the bed and combing her hair with a comb, humming an unknown but familiar tune in her mouth.

Noticing the movement of Zhou Shiyan opening the door, she looked back while combing her hair.

"Did Zhiyue send you back today?"

"Hmm."

Putting the schoolbag on the chair, Zhou Shiyan walked towards the side of the bed, sat on the edge of the bed in the posture of her mother, and looked at her slightly sideways.

Hearing her daughter's response, Lan Yixian's face showed joy.

"What a good boy, sensible and caring, just like his father."

“……”

"I don't know if Liu Changqing is still busy with his work now, he went home late every day during that time......

As if talking to himself, when talking about Liu Changqing, Lan Yixian's face always showed an inexplicable smile.

Mother...... It's not the same as it used to be.

Zhou Shiyan thinks so.

She could see that compared to a few years ago...... The mother, who always lives with herself with a bitter face, now she looks more cheerful.

Like ...... Something to look forward to.

It's not like some time ago, I always worked silently, and now it'...... Even when she sells breakfast, she always has a smile on her face.

From time to time, I look into the distance......

Since...... After her mother paid off all the money she owed Uncle Liu, she became optimistic.

Since Zhou Shiyan can remember, she has rarely seen her mother so happy.

hand, clenched a little.

Zhou Shiyan looked at her mother who was humming a little song beside her, and after being silent for a long time, she opened her mouth and made a sound.

"Our school sports day, Mom...... You go too. ”

"Huh? Games? ”

The combing of her hair stopped, and Lan Yixian turned her head to look at her daughter with a serious expression, not quite sure why she said this.

"The athletic meeting ...... What am I going to do? ”

"Liu Zhiyue signed up to participate, his father loves the child so much, he should also go to see it."

"Is Liu Changqing going too?"

Lan Yixian's face was happy, and then she realized that she was talking to her daughter at the moment, and the joy only existed for a few seconds, and then quickly covered up.

"Mom won't go, breakfast shop ...... I'm going to open the door. ”

"It's okay to take a day off once in a while, just like Uncle Liu once said, work is to combine work and rest, and you haven't had much rest recently."

"But ......"

"I also formed a cheerleading team with other female classmates in the class, and my mother will take a look at it then, this is my first time participating in a cheerleading team."

“……”

Looking at her daughter's serious expression, Lan Yixian didn't respond for a while, but the daughter looked at each other, and nodded after a while.

"Okay, that's what you said."

"Hmm."

A smile appeared on Zhou Shiyan's expressionless face, although it was very shallow.

Reaching out and gently hugging his mother.

For her daughter's actions, Lan Yixian was only stunned for a moment, and then hugged her with the same smile on her face.

The palm of his hand gently ran and hit his daughter's back.

She always likes to be coquettish like this......

Loved it since childhood.

With his chin gently resting on his daughter's forehead, Lan Yixian put the comb he was holding in his other hand on the side of the bed, and then hugged his daughter well.

In his mouth, he hummed the tune that Zhou Shiyan was familiar with.

She's ...... It's been a long time since I've heard my mom hum.

Zhou Shiyan slowly closed her eyes.

Feel the warmth in your mother's arms.

Just like before, mother and daughter snuggled together, no matter how terrible things happened, the mother always hugged herself, like now......

Gently patting himself, in his mouth, humming a ballad.

Mom...... It's time for a good life.

Live, happy days.
