CHAPTER XXVII

Previous Chapter

Father Xu was even more grateful to the young man when he heard this.

Father Xu never thought that the young man who saved his daughter was so young, although he was surprised in his heart, he still held gratitude.

Perhaps it is the temperament of the young man that makes people forget his age, and at this time, Father Xu only has gratitude to the young man for saving his life.

If it weren't for this young man saving his daughter, he didn't dare to imagine what would happen to Xu Yi in the end, so there were some things that had to be said.

When Xu Yi had gradually let go of the boy. Father Xu approached, took Xu Yi's hand and bowed his waist slightly at Xu Du, extremely sincere and serious: "Thank you really for saving Yiyi." ”

This action is not limited to age, but just a father's heartfelt gratitude to a boy.

The boy was slightly surprised, as if he didn't know how to deal with such a scene, and after a while, the boy stood up and said slightly stiffly, "No. ”

……

The sun gradually rose, the morning sun brought a magnificent red glow, the whole world seemed to be much warmer, Xu Du stood by the huge floor-to-ceiling window, just quietly looked into the distance, this was a very harmonious picture, however, for some reason, plain people feel a layer of melancholy.

This is the scene that Xu Yi saw when he went upstairs.

At a young age, she didn't understand why the boy who was obviously older than herself was haunted by such feelings, as incomprehensible and incomprehensible as when she first saw her.

Walking over with his feet unconsciously, Xu Du only turned sideways slightly when he heard the footsteps, and looked at Xu Yi with his eyes lowered, as if he was asking her what she was doing here.

Xu Yi didn't understand what he meant, he still kept his original pace, tilted his head slightly, and said to the young man very seriously: "Don't be so sad. ”

Xu Du's meal.

Before he could slow down, immediately after, Xu Yi squinted his eyes, the corners of his mouth rose, and he smiled lightly at Xu Du with two small pear vortices, "Also, you have to smile more, you look good when you smile." ”

Xu Du took a deep look at the smiling girl and turned his gaze to the window, and only said a word in reply to the girl's words just now. However, the slightly reddened tips of his ears revealed the boy's uneasiness at this time.

Who would have thought that just two words would suddenly pry open Xu Du's heart, one to give him warmth, and the other to give him inexplicable peace in his heart.

At the staircase, Uncle Zhou looked at the two people who were shrouded in the sunset, and he was very relieved.

For Xu Du, he has always been distressed, no one is born indifferent.

Xu Du is not, the high-ranking family gains power and money, but what they lose is human affection, and only loneliness accompanies them in the dead of night.

Xu Du has only accompanied him since he was sensible, only all kinds of strict teaching, rigorous etiquette, at the happiest and most carefree age of all children, but he was suffocated by these things, and he couldn't even get a smiling face from his father Xu Yan and mother Chen Rong, just like that, Xu Du became more and more silent, and his face became more and more expressionless, he no longer had the luxury of his parents' care and warmth,

Until the appearance of his grandfather Xu Yi, who came back from abroad, Xu Du's grandfather didn't like the impersonal lifestyle of his son and daughter-in-law, and saw that his grandson was raised to be this silent and expressionless appearance, and his heart ached, so he immediately decided to bring Xu Du to his side to raise, hoping to let Xu Du have a childhood like an ordinary person.

But how could Xu Yan and Chen Rong agree that they wanted to train Xu Du to be a perfect and flawless person, and they would never allow the slightest deviation in Xu Du's life trajectory.

Although Xu Yan and Chen Rong were so tough, they were facing the old and serious Xu officials after all.

After some deliberation, Xu Yan and his wife finally relented, but set a time limit, Xu Du only followed Xu Yan for five years, and he would return to Xu Yan and his wife as soon as the five-year period came.

In this way, Xu Yi took Xu Du with him, because the old man loves to travel, so in the first year of taking Xu Du, he took Xu Du to travel around the world.

After all, he is still a small child, and in the face of such a grandfather, Xu Du finally slowly changed.

After traveling for a year, considering that Xu Du needed to be educated, Mr. Xu took Xu Du and Uncle Zhou to settle down in the suburbs of City B, and Mr. Xu lived a life of idle clouds and wild cranes.

Xu Du went to class during the day, and after returning home from school, he accompanied Xu Yi to play chess, and helped Uncle Zhou water the flowers, compared to the indifference of the original life, in the company of Xu Yan, Xu Du gradually had some changes, he would make some friends at school, and he would blow his beard angrily......

The days passed peacefully.

But life is always like this, always giving you a hard blow when you are happiest, as a reminder that life is not as simple as you think.

In the fourth year that Xu Du stayed by Xu Yan's side, when winter had just come, during this time, Old Man Xu always had occasional headaches, and from time to time he was weak, Uncle Zhou wanted to find a doctor for Xu Yan to check and check, but Old Man Xu has always been very resistant, feeling that he is old after all, and it is normal for him to have a little problem with his body, so he does not need to mobilize the public.

But suddenly one day, Mr. Xu and Xu Du were playing chess, Mr. Xu fell to the ground suddenly, Xu Du saw his grandfather like this, his face was flustered, and he hurriedly shouted Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou came to the yard and quickly called the emergency number.

At that time, Xu Yan was rescued, however, no matter how good the nursing and medical treatment was, he still didn't survive this winter.

After the aftermath, Xu Yan and his wife had mentioned to Xu Du to let him go back.

But in this regard, Xu Du didn't do anything, Uncle Zhou didn't even see the slightest expression on his face, during that time, Uncle Zhou only felt that Xu Du was like a marionette, lifeless.

Seeing Xu Du like this, Xu Yan and his wife sighed, thinking of Old Man Xu's advice before he died, and went with him.

Over the past year, Xu Du has been like a person who is independent of this world, he will also communicate with people, very calm, but it always makes people feel that you are alienated from his world.

Until just now, for the first time in this year, Uncle Zhou saw him show the same expression as his peers.

……

Father Xu decided to take Xu Yi away in the afternoon, and Father Xu originally wanted to invite Uncle Zhou and Xu Du to have a meal to express his gratitude, but Xu Du asked Uncle Zhou to refuse.

After repeatedly thanking him, Uncle Zhou sent Xu's father and the two to the gate across the courtyard, Xu Yi searched for the young man's figure, and finally, saw him in the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, he always seemed to like to stand in this position.

When Xu Yi looked up at him, the boy also looked at him.

Xu Yi took Xu's father's hand and said to Xu's father, "Dad, can I go and say goodbye to my brother." Of course Father Xu agreed.

Xu ran to the second floor.

Hearing the sound behind him, Xu Du had already turned his head, and Xu Yi, who was flushed all over his face, was still slightly bent over and patting his chest panting, slowing down, Xu Yi looked at Xu Du very seriously: "Thank you." ”

Xu Yi slowly walked towards Xu Du and gently hugged his waist: "You have to be happy, you have to laugh more." As he spoke, he patted Xu Du's back like an adult comforting a child.

Xu Du wanted to struggle at the moment when Xu Yi hugged her, but the little girl's hug in front of him was really warm, Xu Du had never felt such a warm embrace, listening to her words, the cold heart suddenly seemed to flow through a warm current at that moment.

The girl holding her was still thinking: "If you go to City A to play, you can come to me." ”

Probably knowing Xu Du's temper, Xu Yi didn't have any expectation that he would be reciprocated, and it was already good that he wasn't impatient.

Xu Yi waved his right hand as he stepped back, "I'm leaving." With that, he turned and walked towards the stairs.

Facing Xu Yi's back, Xu Du replied lightly seriously: "Okay." ”

When Uncle Zhou sent the father and daughter of the Xu family to play, they went up to the second floor. I saw my young master turn around and face him, "Uncle Zhou, let's go back to City A next month." ”

The moonlight descended, covering the original world with a black veil, but the coming of darkness also means that the dawn of hope is coming, Uncle Zhou thinks.
