Lu Li's previous arrogance and indifference were his masks to hide his loneliness, but now he is the most real him, like a wounded beast, hiding in the corner and crying silently, longing for warmth and love.

I wanted to stretch out my hand to hug Lu Li, but I felt that such an act was too ambiguous, so I had to suppress the urge over and over again.

I don't know how long it took for Lu Li to slowly raise his head, and his face returned to the same indifferent expression as before, except that his eyes were red. We sat side by side on the steps, looking up at the night sky outside the stairs, the moonlight was soft tonight, and the stars were shining, but it seemed very lonely.

The hand holding on the stairs accidentally touched Lu Li's hand, and I bounced off like an electric shock, pursing my lips a little embarrassed. Lu Li didn't seem to notice it, and looked into the distance thoughtfully.

"Lu Li." I whispered.

"Huh?" Lu Li turned his head and looked at me quietly.

"You know what? Stars and planets are so far apart that it takes them several light-years to get there! ”

Perhaps amused by my serious appearance, Lu Li laughed and teased me by the way: "Ye Zhenzhen, were you just caught in the door and broke your head?" Which teacher told you that a light year is a unit of time? ”

Seeing Lu Li laughing, my goal has been half achieved, and I am very relieved, and I don't care about being ridiculed by Lu Li.

"I once watched a movie that said that on a certain day in the middle of summer, stars and planets are closest to each other, even if the distance between them is still measured in light years. So, whether it's your mom, dad or grandpa, although they are a little far away from you, their love for you is close at hand. ”

I spoke with some emotion, and I almost moved myself.

But Lu Li looked at me with inquiring eyes for a while before asking, "Did you take any benefits from my mother?" and persuaded me to eat cake and persuaded me to make peace. ”

What the? I spared a circle and changed my way to comfort Lu Li, but he actually said that I received the benefits. I was so angry that I couldn't speak, so I could only glare at Lu Li angrily.

The guy laughed shamelessly again, "Just kidding, I'm going to get out of my eyes again." ”

I pouted and turned my head away from him.

"I understand what you're saying. Maybe in a few years, I'll be able to understand her struggle. It's just that right now, I don't want to understand yet. ”

Lu Li was right, he was only a seven-year-old child back then, ten years was a long time, so long that Lu Li tasted the loneliness of missing his mother's love, and ten years was also a short time, so short that he couldn't erase the scars in Lu Li's heart.

I no longer forcibly convince Lu Li that time will heal all this pain.

Lu Li got up, patted the ash on his buttocks, and said to me, "It's not too early, go home quickly." ”

I then stood up, picked up the empty cake box on the steps, and remembered Lu Li's birthday and I seemed to have forgotten to tell him happy birthday.

"Wait."

I stopped Lu Li, who was about to enter the door after pressing the elevator for me, took out a post-it note and pen from my school bag, pasted them on the wall, quickly wrote "Lu Li's Wish Exchange Coupon" on the paper, and signed my name.

I carefully tore it off and handed it to Lu Li, "This is a wish exchange coupon, if you have a wish that I can help you realize, write it on it, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to help you realize it." ”

Lu Li took it with interest, looked at me seriously and asked, "Is there a time limit?" ”

"Valid forever."

The elevator opened with a dingdong, and I walked in and waved to Lu Li: "Lu Li, happy birthday." ”

Lying in bed last night, my mind was full of Lu Li's hunched back and silent tears, lingering, so that I couldn't sleep until three o'clock in the morning. I wanted to sleep in the dark on Saturday, but my mother pulled me out of bed early in the morning and told me to go to the community store to buy a bottle of soy sauce.

I carried a soy sauce bottle and pulled my shoes on my way home. Suddenly, a little boy came running up, stopped in front of me, looked at me for a while, and pointed at me with a fat little finger and asked, "Are you the sister who helped my mother deliver the cake last night?" ”

The sister who delivered the cake? I rubbed my eyes that hadn't fully opened, wasn't this little doll in front of me Lu Li's younger brother Jiang He?

I squatted down, grabbed the little guy's shoulders and asked, "Xiao Jianghe, why are you here?" ”

"I came with my mom."

Xiao Jianghe took my hand and pulled me in front of Lu Li's mother.

Lu Li's mother is wearing a long camel-colored windbreaker today, and her hair is tied into a bun, even if she is standing in the narrow corridor, it is still a beautiful scenery.

When Lu Li's mother saw me, she smiled at me kindly, her eyes were like two curved crescents, and there was a shallow pear vortex at the corner of her mouth, which was exactly the same as Lu Li.

"Hello Auntie, are you here to find Lu Li?"

As Lu Li's good friend, he should have stood on the united front with Lu Li. But the woman's sixth sense tells me that this beautiful woman must have a lot of unavoidable hardships in her heart, so I can't hate her at all.

"I came to find out if he had anything to do last night, he hated me so much." Lu Li's mother's words were a little guilty and a little helpless.

"I don't think Lu Li hates you, it's just that he doesn't know how to face you yet."

Lu Li's mother heard my words, her eyes lit up, she grabbed my hand and asked sincerely, "Can I talk to you?" ”

I nodded.

We took Lu Li's mother and Jiang He to the community play area. Lu Li's mother asked Jiang He to play on the slide next to him, and the two of us sat down on the bench.

Lu Li's mother watched Jiang He run to the slide before she spoke, "Zhen Zhen, Lu Li should have told you about me." ”

"Well, I said some."

"Do you think I'm an irresponsible mom too?"

"I guess you have your heart."

Lu Li's mother turned her head to look at me, smiled bitterly, and did not defend herself.

"I am indeed a cowardly mother. Lu Li's father and I got married on a blind date, and there was no love between us. Lu Li's father was very busy with work, but in order to be able to take care of Lu Li, he forced me to give up my favorite job and be a full-time housewife at home, I was tied up in an empty home like a canary every day, I didn't like that kind of life at all. At a class reunion, I met my first love, I told him about my pain, and he said he was willing to take me away. But Lu Li was only five years old at the time, and I was reluctant to leave him, so I endured it for another two years, and my first love found me again and asked me to leave with him. I filed for divorce from Lu Li's father, asking him to hand Lu Li over to me to raise, but Lu Li's father didn't agree, and we had a big quarrel that time, and I ran away in a fit of anger. ”

Lu Li's mother gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and continued: "Later, I secretly ran to the house to see Lu Li several times, but he no longer wanted to see me. I really owe him so much over the years. ”

As Lu Li said, maybe we are too young to understand the affairs of adults, nor can we understand their feelings. But I know that Lu Li's mother must love Lu Li very, very much, and maybe at the moment she left Lu Li, she had a painful struggle and deep regret.

"Auntie, you give Lu Li some more time, and when he grows up, maybe he will understand your hardships back then."

Lu Li's mother seemed to be awakened by my words, and she nodded with satisfaction, "Zhen Zhen, you are really a sensible and good child. ”

I scratched my head embarrassedly, "Auntie, you have won the award, my mother always says that I don't grow up." ”

"It's time for me to go home. Thank you today, Vera. ”

I shook my head and said "it's fine".

Lu Li's mother stood up and beckoned to Jiang He, who was having a lot of fun, and Xiao Jiang He rushed over and threw himself into his mother's arms.

Lu Li's mother squatted down and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead for Jiang He, and said softly: "Xiaohe, let's go home and say goodbye to my sister." ”

Jiang He obediently raised his fat little hand and said goodbye to me obediently.

I watched as Lu Li's mother holding Xiao Jianghe's back gradually disappeared from view, and turned to go home.

"Lu Lijianghe", perhaps this is Lu Li's mother's best wish.

Spring rains in the south are particularly abundant, and the rain is pouring non-stop. From morning reading to Chinese class, the rain outside the window has not stopped.

Today's Chinese class is about Qu Yuan's "Lisao", because most people can't understand classical Chinese, and in the second class in the morning, a large part of the class has already fallen asleep.

But Mrs. Yuan was still on the podium and took the trouble to translate the real words.

"The precariousness of the high Yu crown, and the land of the long Yu Pei. Can anyone explain what 'Lu Li' means? ”

As soon as Mrs. Yuan asked, the drowsy class suddenly woke up for more than half of the time, some people asked the classmates and teachers next to them what questions they asked, and some people opened the books in a hurry.

Gu Zipei, who was almost asleep in the back seat, heard the word "Lu Li", thinking that Master Yuan would answer by name, so he hurriedly kicked Lu Li's chair, "Lu Li, wake up, the teacher asked you a question just now." ”

Lu Li was kicked awake, turned his head and asked me with his eyes.

I pointed to the word "Lu Li" in the textbook and whispered, "The teacher didn't call you, the teacher asked me to translate the meaning of this word." ”

Lu Li nodded in confusion and narrowed his eyes again.

Seeing that no one took the initiative to raise their hands, Mrs. Yuan randomly named them.

"Ye Zhenzhen, you can answer."

I stood up and replied confidently, "Lu Li is slender and beautiful. ”

Master Yuan nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask questions; "Can you tell me what that means?"

I thought for a few seconds and deliberately raised the volume," this sentence refers to the author's noble ambitions, which are given a beautiful symbolic meaning today. For example, Lu Li in our class, I think his parents chose the name Lu Li for him, they must have hoped that he would grow up to be a noble and outstanding person, and this name contains his parents' infinite expectations and love for him. ”

After speaking, I secretly glanced at Lu Li next to me, I don't know when he had already sat up straight, and when I looked at him, he also happened to look at me, his eyes flashed, like stars in the night.

The teacher praised me and sat me down. I picked up a pen and wrote on scratch paper: "The separation of land is not the separation of separation. ”

Then he secretly handed it to Lu Li. Lu Li stared at the note for a while, picked up a pen and wrote a few words, and then handed it to me.

"Thank you!"
