June 8, 1993 was sunny

I held a knife in one hand and one against the door, looking out through the cat's eyes. After the accident a year ago, the scene of me and Aunt Hong fleeing once again surfaced in front of us. I still remember the first time Aunt Hong saw me wielding a knife, her eyes were full of disbelief and horror. But she should be glad that I am not a helpless little girl, otherwise she would have died in the flames by now.

Through the cat's eye, I saw the young man standing outside, tall and thin, wearing a school uniform, covered in sweat, he was Ru Ling, who had just become my brother. He should be at school at this time, and suddenly came back, did he forget something? I hid the fruit knife behind me and opened the door to let him in. Then he closed the door again, with his back to the door, to prevent him from seeing that I still had the murder weapon in my hand.

"What are you doing? Have you eaten? Ru Ling said to me as he walked in, glancing behind me.

"I'm taking a nap."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to cook, come back and see." Ru Ling said and walked to the kitchen. I followed him, thinking that he was such a good brother. At noon, I ran back because I was worried that my half-sister wouldn't be able to eat lunch.

"What's in your hand?" Ru Ling walked to the kitchen door, suddenly turned around, and looked at me.

"Nothing." I stopped where I was, worried that he would react like Aunt Hong.

"What are you doing with a knife?" Ru Ling still noticed it, he walked over, stretched out his hand, and motioned for me to bring the knife to him. Now that I have been discovered, I have no choice but to disarm, and I obediently handed him the knife.

He took the knife and looked at me.

"Are you scared when you're home alone?" He had a good reason for it, but I was a little nervous for a moment.

"Hmm!" I nodded along his train of thought.

He put down the knife, walked over, gave me a big hug, reached out and rubbed it on my head, and said with a smile:

"This is the family building of the public security system, and the security is very good. I'll make you lunch, would you like to do us a favor?" ”

I felt like I was being treated like a pet dog, and I felt warm all at once, and I felt angry all at once. But he still unconsciously followed him into the kitchen.

He put the rice left by Aunt Tang into the rice cooker, and then showed me how to use the rice cooker, although I have been trained by Aunt Hong, I still don't want to live up to his hard work, listen to him carefully. After that, he lit the gas stove again, poured the vegetables that had been fried in the morning back into the wok, stir-fried and heated it for a while, and served it out again. I watched from the sidelines and handed him the plate.

The food is hot, and the rice is hot. He made two bowls of rice, and I brought the dishes to the table and sat down at a distance from him. When I was seated, he grinned and pushed the dishes and rice to the seat next to me.

"Eat, come with me to school after eating."

"Can I go?" I don't understand what this is.

"Yes, there is a small library at school, you can go there to read books and wait for me to finish school, so that you don't have to be afraid at home." Ru Ling said while eating.

"I want to be at home." This is from the heart, I feel that I am a little freer alone, and finally there is no supervision from Aunt Hong, and before I have time to be happy, I have to be guarded again, which is really a little unwilling.

"It's okay, if you don't want to go to the library by yourself, I'll go and tell the teacher, let you come to our class for an afternoon, just sit next to me, our homeroom teacher is my mother's classmate, and she will understand."

"I want to be at home." Again, I stressed how he was so nosy.

"Don't be embarrassed, we'll have to go to school together anyway, so you should get used to it in advance. Eat quickly, and go back to school after eating. ”

"I want to be at home." I repeated my thoughts again.

"No way!" Ru Ling changed his tone this time, and it was no longer a negotiating attitude. It seems that he is determined to tie me to his side and watch. I really shouldn't have let him see me with a knife in my hand.

"Okay." In order not to destroy his enthusiasm for being an older brother, I had to reluctantly comply.

"Good!" Seeing that I had compromised, Ru Ling laughed again, kept putting vegetables into my bowl, and watched me finish eating with a smile.

Looking at his triumphant appearance, I wondered if he wanted to have a sister too much, so my appearance satisfied his long-cherished wish for many years and gave him a chance to play.

I don't know if all the brothers will spoil their sisters so much, if that person is still alive, will he be as good to me as Ru Ling. Or did he also think that I was dead, which is really sad.

Lunch was not delicious, but I was forced to eat extraordinarily much, and before I could digest it, I was dragged all the way to school by Ru Ling and stuffed into the classroom steadily. Speaking of which, the teachers here are really friendly and kind, and they really agreed to let me sit in the back and listen. It was also just a request that I not sleep and not speak so as not to disturb other students.

Ru Ling sat in the penultimate row of the classroom because of his height, and I was placed in the penultimate row behind him.

There are 48 students in Ruling's class, 30 are boys, 18 are girls, this ratio is seriously unbalanced, the class has 4 columns vertically, each column has a desk for two students, and the horizontal is 7 rows, because there is a lectern on both sides of the wall, and a small bookshelf is placed on the other, so the two columns on the side are lower than the middle two columns. Ru Ling has 4 classes in the afternoon, mathematics, English, physics, and chemistry, each class is 45 minutes, and there is a 10-minute break between classes, so school ends at 5:15 under normal circumstances.

I couldn't understand anything other than English and Chinese, so I had to count the heads over and over again.

I don't know what kind of state Ru Ling usually attends in class, throughout the afternoon, he has to look back at me several times in every class, as if he is afraid that I will run away, as soon as he turns back, he will follow the table, I have to raise the corners of my mouth, keep smiling until the two of them finish reading, and then return to a natural expression. After doing this a few times, I suddenly felt that I needed to practice smiling naturally, or smiling naturally, so that I didn't have to remind myself so deliberately.

In addition to going to the bathroom, Ru Ling didn't dare to relax for a moment, and circled around me, even if he went to the bathroom, he also let him watch me at the same table. It's like I'm just an ignorant child, for fear of getting lost, or being abducted. Fortunately, Ru Ling's other classmates were not interested in me, except for looking twice, few people came up to talk.

But the people who talk are all girls, which is probably because Ru Ling's heterosexual relationship is too good. The girls came up one by one, some gave candy, some sent cards, and some quietly stuffed a love letter to me, asking me to hand it over to Ru Ling when I got out of school. Naturally, some people ask questions, such as whether I am Ru Ling's cousin, cousin, or sister, why I haven't seen it before, how old I am, where I went to school, what grade I went to, and so on.

I accepted all the gifts and love letters without refusing, and carefully remembered the name of each girl, this favor will naturally be counted on Ru Ling's head, and he will pay it back in the future. I can only laugh and say nothing about the problem, in case I say something wrong, I am afraid that it will affect the reputation of the Ru family. Ru Ling is extremely happy and proud of my popularity, and it seems that he doesn't understand that I borrowed his light.

Ruling's teachers are also very interesting, it should be the head teacher who said hello, after each teacher's class, they will unconsciously come to me, look at me deeply, every time I am seen I am embarrassed to smile, the teachers will return me with a kind smile, there is a female teacher, actually reached out and touched my hair, to show friendship.

At the end of the afternoon class, I was already feeling dizzy and wanted to find a place where no one was around. Ru Ling was full of energy and still refused to let me go, and insisted on taking me to a nearby park for a walk, saying that it was particularly beautiful. I had no choice but to be taken to the park again.

Saying that the park is really good-looking, we found a bench to sit on the edge of an artificial lake, the weeping willow is like a bead curtain, around the lake, separating the lake from the surroundings, there is a poplar tree next to the lake, each of which bears white plush poplars, some poplars are blown into the bead curtain, the whole lake is like snow, in the evening sun, like a dream.

I sat on the bench and stuffed the gifts and love letters I received to Ru Ling, and then told him his names one by one, and he didn't think they were for me, because I was so cute. As for the love letter, he picked it up and looked at it, took it apart and folded it into a small boat, and put it in the lake. Then he told me not to tell Aunt Tang and Father Ru.

"You don't like it?" I asked him curiously.

"I don't like it." Ru Ling replied simply.

"Why?"

"No, I just don't like it."

"I think she's pretty good-looking."

"You must be better looking than her when you grow up."

"That's right."

"You're quite modest." Ru Ling suddenly smiled.

"Then I'll grow up to be your girlfriend."

"How is that possible? You're my sister. What do you think? Ru Ling reached over and grabbed my hair again, and I had to laugh, he didn't really know anything. But it seems to be a good sister to him, although sometimes it's a little troublesome.

We stayed until the sun went down and then we went home. Ru Ling walked all the way, while reminding me to pay attention to the road signs, where to turn, where to go straight, how many intersections to go straight. I followed him, remembering carefully, always preparing for the time when I had to face it alone.

When we got home, Aunt Tang and Dad Ru had already returned. Ru Ling took the key to open the door, and I stood behind him, and I vaguely heard the sound of the quarrel in the room, thinking that it should be similar to the content of yesterday, probably about me. The moment Ru Ling pushed the door open, the room was quiet, I saw Aunt Tang hurriedly walking into the kitchen, wiping away tears as she walked, and Ru's father sat on the sofa, squeezing out a bitter smile at me.

I believed that Ru Ling had seen it as much as I did, but he pretended not to see it, and only said that we were back, and led me into the study, and did not forget to close the door of the study. I stood in the study, not knowing if I should tell him that I saw it, and I didn't care, but I was a little sorry for Daddy Ru.

Ru Ling saw that I had been standing there, probably thinking that I was sad, and he came over and hugged me again, and did not speak for a long time......... I suddenly thought that for the sake of this brother, I would also stay in this house, even if it was a little wronged and troublesome.
