Volume 1 青青子衿 【Chapter 052】My Determination の Memory
The sunlight passed through the densely intertwined branches and green leaves, falling on the ground of Mucuna cyan, like the mottled and peeling old wall skin finally revealing new and tender scars, rolling down towards the dew, the buds and leaves raised their heads, the buds bulging lightly, and the wind carried a little shy and tentative heat in the eager sight, and pulled the fingers recklessly and rudely through the girl's long blue and black hair.
The autumn morning breeze was cool and pleasant, and the yellow fallen leaves fell at the feet of the students, and Xiaofu and Xizi walked together on the forest path of the campus.
The two of them had sunny faces and a few beautiful and sweet smiles, and they were laughing and talking selflessly, when a familiar shout sounded behind them and stopped them, "Little... Xiaofu! Wait for me! Bi Hongchao stumbled from a distance.
Hearing someone calling for herself, Fur turned back in surprise to see the short, hurried figure in the distance running towards them.
Bi Hongchao caught up with them in one go, Xizi caught a glimpse of him, and immediately stepped forward to greet him familiarly, "Bi Daxia, why are you here?" ”
Bi Hongchao bent his waist and crossed his arms and legs to pant for breath, and it took a while to straighten up, lock his eyes on Xiaofu, who was looking at him in a daze, and quickly grinned at her.
The three of them walked side by side, Xiaofu and Xizi held hands, keeping some distance from Bi Hongchao, while B-ultra chattered vigorously, leaning over a little from time to time, and Xiaofu smiled awkwardly and avoided him.
"Xiaofu, I'm leaving school tonight, if you want something to eat, I'll bring it back for you!" B-ultrasound looked at her with a smile.
"No, thank you, there's everything in the school." Xiaofu lowered her head embarrassedly, and the smile on her face was a little reluctant.
Yussizi, who loves to eat and drink, shouted from the other end, "Hey! Bring me some, right? I want to have chicken fries, better have another glass of ice! ”
Bi Hongchao pursed his lips, glanced at her with disgusted eyes, and then turned his face to smile at Qin Xiaofu, "Xiaofu, what is your birthday?" Shall we add a QQ? ”
Yu Xizi was a little angry when he saw that B Chao ignored him, and looked at him endlessly pestering Xiaofu, and found a clue in his courteous tone. She raised her eyebrows and teased, "B-ultrasound, why do you care so much about Xiaofu?" Do you like her? ”
Bi Hongchao was greeting him one by one, and suddenly heard Xizi's ridicule, he suddenly became embarrassed, quickly turned his face to the other side, and began to talk to himself, "Hehe, actually, I'm to Xiaofu...... If, if Ferf doesn't mind......"
As he spoke, a hand unconsciously reached over, trying to get closer to Xiaofu. Seeing his self-absorbed appearance, Xizi wanted to play tricks on him, but she pulled Xiaofu away and pulled her behind her.
And B ultrasound was still self-absorbed in the sky, "Actually, when I saw you for the first time, ......"
Yu Xizi rolled her eyes at him, went up and slowly grabbed his outstretched hand, B Chao felt her hand, trembled happily, buried her face and laughed embarrassedly.
Seeing his stupid look, Xizi laughed and snickered on the side, and Xiaofu couldn't help but laugh along. Bi Hongchao slowly turned his head affectionately, glanced at her, and saw that unexpected face, so frightened that he quickly shook off that hand and jumped to the side.
"Yikes!! How are you?! ”
The two girls next to him laughed, Bi Hongchao's face turned red, rubbed his hot hand and walked away.
In the afternoon, the school canteen was densely populated, the pungent and thick smell of oil smoke filled the nasal cavity, and in the chaotic and noisy environment, one or two enthusiastic shouts of the cafeteria aunt rang out.
Qi Xiu had an early appointment with Du Ruolin for lunch, and the two of them chose a suitable seat and sat down after the meal was ready.
Du Ruolin put the plate in his hand, picked a position by the window and sat down, and was about to pick up chopsticks to eat, when he raised his eyes and saw that Brother Qi Xiu was still there with his eyebrows carefully selecting the two seats opposite, and finally chosen, he took out a paper towel to wipe and wipe, and took care of it for a while before sitting down steadily.
Seeing him sit down, Du Ruolin opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Qi Xiu, do you never come to the school cafeteria to eat?" ”
Qi Xiu was busy wiping the table with a tissue repeatedly, and when he heard her question, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "How do you know?" ”
"Because you didn't know where the chopsticks were when you were cooking just now, and now you're ......."
"Forget it... Let's eat! ”
Du Ruolin wanted to explain more, but he swept the rich and delicious dishes on the plate, coupled with the strong aroma of vegetables smelled on the tip of his nose, he was still too lazy to saliva, and after holding his words, he began to pick up chopsticks and enjoy lunch.
The two laughed and talked together for a while, chatted about their recent situation and life, and then unconsciously finished their meal. Du Ruolin finished nibbling on the last chicken leg, wiped his mouth with paper, dropped his chopsticks, and touched the round belly he ate.
When she looked up with a full sense of satiety, what surprised her was that Brother Qi Xiu had actually eaten it all, and the moment she raised her head, he actually drank the bowl of soup completely.
"Wow... Brother Qi Xiu, are you hungry? She asked, surprised.
Qi Xiu politely wiped his mouth with a tissue, gently put down the dishes and chopsticks and replied, "No, I will set a quantity for myself every time I eat, and then eat clean, this is my habit." ”
Du Ruolin leaned over his face and took a closer look at his plate, he ate cleanly, so clean that there was not even a grain of rice left, and the bowl of soup was not even left, it was really strange, how could he, a rich young master, eat so cleanly?
"Brother Qi Xiu, I didn't expect you to be so economical in food, it was really unexpected to me!" Du Ruolin's eyes widened, and he retracted his head in disbelief.
There was a long sigh from the other side, "That's because you haven't been hungry." ”
When Du Ruolin heard this, his eyes turned funny, and he went up and teased, "Have you ever been hungry?" ”
Hearing this, Qi Xiu was silent instantly, his two black and brown eyes looked straight at her, and slowly, his eyes began to be hollow, and he fell into deep thought at once, looking at his pair of pupils in a daze, as if he was going to pull people into a long reminiscence.
All the hustle and bustle around was frozen, time was cruelly reversed, it was a scorching hot weather, and Qi Xiu was only 8 years old this year.
On this day, Qi Xiu's family and stepmother and aunt were preparing to use the summer vacation time to go to the countryside for a summer vacation, and Qi's father informed Qi Xiu early to prepare his clothes.
Qi Xiu has always called his stepmother "Aunt Lin", and never wants to call her a mother or an intimate name, because, in his eyes, Aunt Lin is a smiling tiger character wearing a mask.
Aunt Lin took care of everything for Qi's father, and when she went downstairs and passed by Qi Xiu's door, her cold eyes glanced at Xiao Qi Xiu, who was sorting out clothes in the room, and looked at the boy's simple back, and the corners of her mouth pulled secretly.
After a while, Qi Xiu walked out of the room with his small package, and when he went down the stairs, he saw Aunt Lin standing on the steps waiting for him, and she was smiling with a smile that he couldn't guess.
Seeing her with her arms folded in front of her chest, she stepped up a step forward, and opened her voice in disgust, "Qi Xiu, you don't have to go, I have already told your father that you were temporarily picked up by your grandmother." ”
Qi Xiu looked at her sharp Danfeng eyes, although he had laughed into two crooked black lines, but this kind of laughter made Qi Xiu look scared, he wanted to run into her desperately, and run downstairs to catch up with his father.
But how can a small self resist the strength of an adult. Aunt Lin picked him up and dragged him into the small black room, pushed Qi Xiu into the deep darkness hard, and then quickly locked the door with her backhand and left Qi Xiu inside.
Xiao Qi Xiu knocked desperately on the door and cried inside, but no one could hear his voice and help him.
After knocking on the door for a while, he really didn't have the strength, he turned around tremblingly, turned around and looked, a big photo of his mother was hanging on the wall, his beautiful young mother was smiling at him, he reacted, this is his mother's memorial room.
Aunt Lin is so vicious that she left herself alone at home, and locked up in her mother's memorial room, which is full of photos and relics of mothers of all sizes before her death, which makes people feel sad and scared.
Upstairs he heard the sound of his father's car driving away, and he leaned against the wall in disappointment, letting his body slide down a little bit.
It's common to be bullied like this. In front of herself, Aunt Lin is a face, but in front of her father, Aunt Lin is a very virtuous woman who patronizes the family, every time Qi Xiu resists her pretending to be good to herself in front of her father, she will always be misunderstood by her father as her own willfulness, so she slowly loses her father's trust and love.
It's been a long, long time since anyone has loved him well.
He stepped forward, stretched out his little arms to hug his mother's last photo, put his face on the cold glass frame, and smiled like this, for a long, long time.
Three days later, my father and Aunt Lin came back from vacation, but my father was too busy with official business, so he went directly to the company and did not go home as soon as he came back.
Aunt Lin ran upstairs and opened the door of the memorial room, with a smug smile on her lips.
There was no glimpse of Qi Xiu's figure from the crack in the door, she was a little strange, and when she opened the whole door, she saw that Qi Xiu had passed out under her mother's last photo, and she was still holding a half-torn book tightly in her hand.
It turned out that Qi Xiu had not eaten or drunk for three days, and was locked up in this airtight memorial room, and no one cared about him. In order to survive, he had no choice but to dig out his mother's diary before her death, and as a way to satisfy his hunger, he tore it up and ate it.
Unexpectedly, the only trace left by his mother became Qi Xiu's lifesaver, and he didn't expect that an 8-year-old ignorant little boy would be subjected to such cruel abuse.
Maybe it's providential. It was his mother who protected him in the dark, if it weren't for this diary, Qi Xiu might have died in that memorial room with his mother. Therefore, for him, saving is a kind of gratitude to God.
"Brother Qi Xiu?" Du Ruolin shook his hand in front of him, urging him to come to his senses.
Qi Xiu's eyes were startled, and he was instantly pulled from the sad memories, a cold sweat was already breaking out on his head, and he left in a hurry without saying hello to Ruolin as if he had lost his soul.
