When biting the hand, warmth builds up little by little
The sun slowly jumped higher than the sycamore outside the window
When I opened my phone, I saw more than a dozen missed calls, including calls from Xia Qiao, aunts, and teacher Su Wan'er, but more calls and messages from Xinran
But because of the mute on my phone, I didn't hear a single one
Toot, toot, toot
"Uh, cough cough, that Xinran, I fell asleep at a friend's house last night tutoring and studying, so I didn't go back"
Even in an apologetic tone, I knew I couldn't explain anything
There was a dead silence on the other side of the phone
"Don't you know to call back?"
I didn't hear anything in her tone, but I could probably feel her anger
"That, I forgot, sorry,,,"
The phone was quiet again
"We're worried about you, bastard! Mom is worried about you, Shio can't lose his family anymore! ”
There seemed to be a crying voice on the other side of the phone
I know, I know, I shouldn't have to worry about those things, but I have a reason to do so
"I'm worried about you too, come back soon, okay?"
This is the first time I've heard my heart cry
Maybe that doesn't work for me, right?
I'm just an insignificant person, and I don't have much power to change that
"Well, I'll go back right away and help me report their safety"
I know that in a warm place, there is still a bond like family
When I put my phone down, my mind was still in a mess
Give up, there's nothing I can do anymore, after all, I'm insignificant
I didn't have to do that for her, that's probably all I can tell myself now
Lin Yi seemed to be in the next room, knocking on the door gently, and that familiar voice came from inside
"Please come in"
She sat on the bed, as if thinking about something, letting the breeze blow her long hair
"That, Lin Yi, I'm sorry"
My voice made her seem to come back to her senses, and she looked at me quizzically
"Huh? I'm sorry to say I'm in danger of getting you into danger."
She smiled apologetically at me
But her smile seemed to have changed something, but I don't know
"Well, I may ,,, in the future."
It is probably not worth forgetting what really matters for the sake of something that is so-called a long time ago
So I wasn't ready to help her
"I understand, I'm really sorry this time"
It's just an irresponsible child's willful behavior after having boring expectations
Knock lightly on the door, and the response is a familiar voice
"Uh, that, Xinran, I'm back"
Under the girl's burning gaze, the boy's disguised smile looked so overwhelmed
But the girl didn't say anything, and turned around and left only the boy stunned in place
The slippers were neatly placed next to the shoe cabinet
The sunlight that came in from the door probably warmed people's hearts
The smell wafting from the dining table in the living room made the boy even more energetic
"Wow, there are so many delicious foods, what is a good day today?"
The boy couldn't wait to run to the table and pick up chopsticks to steal food, but was caught by the girl who came out of the kitchen
"Hey! Stupid, at least wash your hands before eating"
The girl pretended to be angry and stared at the boy angrily
The teenager could only go to the bathroom to wash his hands
But suddenly he was hugged by something strange behind his back
"Brother Yechen, you're finally back"
This lovely sound
The boy turned around and petted the girl's head dotingly
"Of course I'm coming back, this is the tide and my home"
The boy led her to the table, and the girl sitting across from her looked at her with resentment
"You didn't come back last night, but Xi has been clamoring to find you"
"Eh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I won't worry you next time"
The boy smiled wryly, as if he didn't want to take over the topic
"Well, let's eat first."
The boy sat down as if relieved
"Will my aunt be back today?"
"Well, I'll be back tonight."
"Oooh"
The quiet smell in the air, the sound of dishes and chopsticks staggering, that's probably what I thought
It seems that in these days, I have not lost anything, but gained more precious things
I've never been the one who has nothing
Let that secret rot in my heart
