Chapter 3

Now is the time for students to go to school, Xiao Fei, who came out in a thick coat and cotton pants, looks particularly eye-catching in a group of students wearing school uniforms. Xiao Fei put his hands in the pockets of his coat nonchalantly, slowly paced to a small cart selling breakfast, took out a crumpled piece of money from his coat pocket, handed it to the boss, the boss took the money with his right hand, and naturally picked up a xiaolongbao and soy milk in a white plastic bag from the cart with his left hand, and stretched it out in front of Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei took breakfast and was not in a hurry to eat, anyway, the bread and milk just now were still churning in his stomach. Holding the buns and soy milk in both hands, feeling the warmth of their palms through the thin plastic bag, he turned and walked in the opposite direction of the student flow.

It's not absenteeism, it's being late to class. It's still sincere, right? Thinking so, he came to a small park at the back of the school, found a random stone bench, and sat down.

The buns and soy milk were already cold, Xiao Fei took a sip of soy milk, ate another bite of the buns, and looked up at the old men and aunts who were dancing in the park.

Although they tried to pretend to be very leisurely and relaxed, Xiao Fei felt that their movements were very stiff. Maybe it was because the cotton clothes were so thick that they couldn't stretch their limbs, so their movements looked very funny—he thought.

When he finished the last bun and was about to drink the last bite of soy milk, a furious voice rang out, mixed with heart-rending cries.

A tall man in a black down jacket was swearing and swearing as he dragged a little boy about eight or nine years old past the park square. The little boy cried so hard that he dragged his legs on the floor, one hand was pulled by the man, and the other hand kept wiping his eyes. The man saw that the little boy refused to stand up, and he didn't care, so he just pulled one of his hands and dragged him away. The little boy's trousers had been worn out by the hard stone floor, and the two knees, perhaps covered by the trousers, had also been bruised.

The old man and the old aunt who were originally dancing hula all at once surrounded the noisy father and son. An old man said distressedly: "What can't you talk about well, why do you treat the little doll so much?" Another old aunt also picked up: "That's it, that's it, the little doll is so pitiful, you are a father, don't be so fierce!" They said a word, and I said a word, but none of them went to pull the little boy up on the ground.

The man's face was very dark, he lowered his head and pulled the little boy harder, and said angrily: "How old are you to go to school and skip school?!" If I hadn't followed you, you wouldn't have known that you didn't go to school every day, so you came here! Shame on you! As soon as the words came out, the old men and aunts around them began to speak again: "Eh, this is unacceptable! "yes, how can you skip school?" "Little doll, you have to listen to your father and go to school hard!"

The little boy cried louder, his throat was hoarse, and the man, frantically, raised his palm and called out to the little boy's face.

The crying stopped abruptly, and the left side of the little boy's face was swollen to the height, but he didn't dare to cry anymore, and his shoulders shook violently.

Looking at the back of the man dragging the little boy who had stopped struggling and was motionless towards the entrance of the park, Xiao Fei wanted to stand up, but his legs were weak and he fell on the hard and dry floor board.

When he closed his eyes, a thick leather belt whistled past his eyes.

When Lu Yi came out of the studio, it was drizzling. The light rain in the depths of winter seems to be not very powerful, but in just a few seconds, it can quickly rob the human body of the heat stored indoors, and the mist scattered in the rain curtain seems to be showing off its power to the shivering people.

Lu Yi lifted the loose woolen scarf around his neck, and then walked briskly to a nearby café. All the cells in his body were craving a hot cup of black coffee.

With a cup of black coffee, he chose a window seat and sat down. Smelled the coffee, and was about to take a sip, the mobile phone text message prompt sounded, he took out his mobile phone, and found that the mobile phone was full of Sanping's text messages.

Lu Yi put down the coffee, didn't read the text message, and quickly called Sanping - there shouldn't be a performance at this time, and there is still time to talk on the phone, right?

Sure enough, Sanping quickly answered the phone. Before Lu Yi could speak, Sanping's anxious voice came: "Lu Yi, go to the hospital to see Xiao Fei, the doctor said that he fainted with a fever." I'm in Italy right now and won't be going back for a while, but I've booked my ticket......"

"You don't want to give up on the show, do you?" Lu Yi interrupted her.

"In this case, I can't care about the performance." Sanping's voice sounded a little tired. Lu Yi frowned: "Xiao Fei will hand it over to me, and you will come back after the performance." Perform with peace of mind and don't worry. ”

"But ......" Sanping wanted to say something, Lu Yi took a big sip of coffee, stood up and walked out the door, while waiting for Sanping's next words. But Sanping's words changed: "Then, Xiao Fei will ask you." I'll be back soon. ”

"Well, goodbye." Lu Yi hung up the phone and raised his hand to hail a taxi.

Sanping put down the phone, and the heart that was originally in his throat sank a little, but it was not yet in his stomach. There are still three hours to go until the official performance, and the members of the orchestra have arrived, and they are busy adjusting the instruments and live equipment, and when everything is checked, Sanpei will join them for the first rehearsal of the day. But in fact, they have been training intensively for several months, and this is also the orchestra she has been working with, Sanping is still confident about tonight's performance.

It was just when I was putting on makeup that I received a call from the doctor. The doctor said that Xiao Fei had a high fever and was now unconscious. Sanping panicked all of a sudden, he had a high fever, how could he have a high fever? Is it a cold? But every time I see him, he is dressed very thickly, and there is no reason why he will have a high fever!

Because of the tight grip on the mobile phone in his hand, his palms were slightly sweaty. At the first time, she called Lu Yi several times, but no one answered-maybe she was painting, thinking like this, Sanping sent several messages to Lu Yi. But there was no reply. When tears were about to burst out of his eyes, Lu Yi's call finally came in.

In the past few months, in order to ensure the progress of rehearsals, she insisted on running at home and abroad - two days after rehearsals in Italy, she took a night flight back to China that night, more than nine hours on the plane, and Sanping seized the time to sleep as soon as she got on the plane. When she returned to China, it was already daytime, and Xiao Fei was already at school. She got off the plane and ran home, then went to the supermarket to buy vegetables, went home to cook dinner for Xiao Fei, and then went to pick up Xiao Fei from school when the time was almost up. In the evening, I had dinner with Xiao Fei, and after Xiao Fei took a shower and went to bed, he booked a plane to Italy early the next morning...... ran in such a cycle, Xiao Fei saw it in his eyes and persuaded her once, telling her not to toss and rehearse and perform in Italy. Sanping refused, she didn't want to lose the opportunity to accompany Xiao Fei because of her work, and at the same time, she never thought of taking Xiao Fei with her - they all suggested that Sanping try to provide Xiao Fei with a stable life.

But she is a violinist, and when she is not performing, she is fine, and she can be at home most of the time, but in the end of the year, how much time can she be at home?

Sanping looked at the weak Xiao Fei who was shrunk in the seat, his eyes were hot, and after saying goodbye to his parents who reacted violently, he took Xiao Fei's little hand and walked out of the room.

Sanping thus became Xiao Fei's legal guardian. Xiao Fei's relatives were overjoyed, and Sanping's parents were gloomy. Sanping looked down at Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei just raised his head to look at her, his eyes were bright.
