Chapter 22: Happy Birthday
It was eleven o'clock in standard time, and they had been in the police station for half an hour.
In addition to trivial questions as usual, minors have one more link - waiting for the arrival of their guardians.
For this reason, the three people who were huddled in the corner had the same headache.
Especially Susandi, she doesn't know how to get past her parents.
You know, her information looks seamless, but in fact it is very empty, where is she going to change two living people to act as her parents, so she has to take one step at a time.
Before she could think of a countermeasure, the door outside the police station suddenly opened, completely attracting her attention.
It was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who walked in the unfamiliar environment first, and then walked quickly towards Su Wangjun.
And when he walked to Li Qingyu's side, the young man grabbed Li Qingyu's collar violently.
If it weren't for Su Sandy's understanding of the young man's temperament very well and blocking them first, Li Qingyu's face might have left a fist mark.
"Su Huanyang!"
Su Wangjun's reaction was not so fast, but after seeing the young man's actions, she immediately spoke up to stop him, "This is the person who helped me, those bad people are not here." ”
"Yes, dare to fight in front of me, I see that you also want me to invite you to live in the detention center for a few days."
Fan Qiyun didn't know when he came over, his tone was a little serious, as if he would put Su Huanyang in the next second.
Su Huanyang still maintained the arrogance of a young man, just because he blamed others, and the object of blame was still the person who helped his sister, he finally relented, let go of his hand, and said sorry to Li Qingyu.
"It's okay." Master Li Qingyu has a large number of them, and he doesn't care about Su Huanyang.
He straightened his folded collar and sat back in his chair, looking at the group in front of him.
Not long after this little episode ended, Lan Yelan also came over.
Her face was a little pale, and she seemed to be frightened by the news, and hurried here.
After seeing Su Sandi, Lan Yelan was obviously stunned, but quickly shifted her gaze and pulled Su Wangjun to check her carefully, "How is it?" Are there any injuries? ”
"Look! Birthday cake. ”
Su Wangjun didn't immediately answer Lan Yelan's words, but just held the cake high and deliberately covered the collapsed side of the cake.
She wanted to share the good things with her, but the beauty was fleeting, so fast that she never had it.
It is said that the mother and daughter are connected, and seeing Lan Yelan's haggard appearance, Su Wangjun's tears instantly couldn't hold back, and he silently put down the cake.
"It's okay, but my wrist hurts a little." Not wanting to look so vulnerable, she sniffled and raised her hand to secretly wipe away her tears while everyone was not looking.
Lan Yelan was not unaware of Su Wangjun's emotions, and Su Wangjun's every move seemed to hit her heart.
She had always understood that she owed so much to this child that she always wanted to bear it for her.
But this world is so cruel, there is never a reason to replace each other.
Thinking of this, Lan Yelan had to accept this fact, this feeling was like going back to four years ago, when she learned the truth, she was full of powerlessness.
"I'll see."
Lan Yelan lightly picked up Su Wangjun's hand, and after seeing the crimson mark on her wrist, her heart shook slightly, and she held back her trembling voice and said earnestly.
"It's not such a big deal to buy a mobile phone, just buy another one."
"But..."Su Wangjun was silent for a moment, feeling that it was still necessary to say it.
"You and Dad bought it for me." To underscore how important this gift is, Su Wangjun added: "It's my fifteenth birthday. ”
Although she is not good at expressing herself, and sometimes she is easy to offend people when she speaks, she never lacks sincerity in expressing herself, such as at this moment.
Su Wangjun raised her head, her eyes were shining, as if she was in the process of receiving gifts back then, which made Lan Yelan's heart warm, and she couldn't say anything anymore.
Lan Yelan touched the tips of Su Wangjun's hair, and the family affection of blood dissolving in water made her unable to hold back tears, and also made everyone feel the warmth in their hearts, including Su Sandi.
Back in 2016, standing here as a spectator, she had a different feeling.
In the past, she couldn't have thought of it, but now, she is indeed standing here.
Xu was infected by Su Wangjun, and the emotions of seeing Lan Yelan for the first time on her body were instantly driven.
She thought a lot, her previous self lived according to the rules, why didn't she live a smoother life this time?
So when they were about to leave, Susandi stopped them.
"Auntie."
Hearing someone calling her from behind, Lan Yelan turned her head and saw someone who looked like Su Wangjun standing there.
For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity, but it was not quite the same as Su Wangjun.
"What's wrong?"
Knowing that Su Sandi and Li Qingyu were both the people who helped today, Lan Yelan had a good impression of them, and saw that she seemed to have something, so she stopped.
Finding that Lan Yelan was really stopped by her, Su Sandi began to feel awkward.
In fact, she regretted it as early as when Su Sandi said it, and now that the words have been spoken, it is a little embarrassing to say that it is okay, so she simply proceeds according to her own ideas.
Susandi held out her hand and instinctively gestured in the air.
This was prepared by 16-year-old Su Wangjun before Lan Yelan's birthday, but later because of some reasons, coupled with her lack of expressiveness, it has been delayed until now.
As for why she brought it up again today, to put it bluntly, Susandi has a selfish heart, and she doesn't want to have regrets.
She first clasped her hands into fists in a gesture of blessing, and then put her hands together.
Extend the thumb and little finger of the right hand and draw down from the inside of the left hand, then extend the thumb and index finger of the right hand and swipe from the top right to the top left, and finally bend the two hands slightly and lift them up twice.
This series of movements seems not difficult, but for Su Wangjun, who was 16 years old at the time, she practiced less than 100 times, so that Su Sandi has now formed a muscle memory and can complete the movements coherently.
If someone who has never learned sign language will never be able to see it, but Lan Yelan is different, she is a sign language teacher at a special school, and she quickly understands what Su Sandi is anaglyzing.
Connect all the words together and make them into four words: Happy Birthday.
Happy birthday is what Susandi wants to express the most at this moment, although she can't say it as her daughter, she still wants to send this blessing to her, and it can be regarded as thanking her for all these years of care.
I saw Lan Yelan smile, revealing a gentle energy inside and out, "Thank you." ”
"No thanks, these are all taught to me by Wangjun."
After speaking, Su Sandi looked at Su Wangjun calmly.
From the moment she decided to use sign language, she knew that her secret must not be hidden, not to mention that learning sign language was also Su Wangjun's idea, and she had no reason to ask for credit.
"Really?" Hearing from other people's mouths, Lan Yelan was a little surprised, she didn't expect Su Wangjun to do so much behind her back, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
On the one hand, because of sign language, and on the other hand, friendship.
Since they came to City A, except for Baiqing, who has been good since childhood, Lan Yelan has seen for the first time which friend Su Wangjun has played better with.
She also thought that Su Wangjun, who was extremely vigilant, would not make friends, but now she was too worried.
So, under the blazing gaze of Lan Yelan, Su Wangjun looked at Su Sandi, then nodded slowly and acquiesced.
"Hmm."
With the guarantee of the guardian, all kinds of procedures were handled quickly, and Su Wangjun could leave soon.
But because it was too late, they had to walk back.
In the end, they are all girls, and as the only boy present, Su Huanyang takes on the important task of protecting them.
He followed them step by step, kicking the stones on the side of the road from time to time, and even keeping an eye on his surroundings.
Unlike the previous way of looking forward to going home, Su Wangjun obviously had something in his heart this time, but he didn't know how to speak, so he simply listened absentmindedly.
"You will go home in the future..."Sensing Su Wangjun's silence, Lan Yelan's voice stopped abruptly, "What's wrong?" Is there something you want to say? ”
Su Wangjun wanted to say no, but he swallowed his words anyway.
Thinking of Lan Yelan's attitude towards Su Sandi, she spoke thoughtfully: "Mom, do I have a sister?" Or is it my sister? ”
As soon as the words fell, Lan Yelan's face turned incredibly pale, if it weren't for the darkness of the night scene around her, I am afraid it would be difficult to hide her gaffe.
Su Wangjun didn't expect that his question would give Lan Yelan such a big reaction, and the suspicion in his heart was even worse.
Not only Lan Yelan, but even Su Huanyang behind him stopped kicking the stones, and seemed to be holding his breath, wanting to pursue an answer.
It's just that Su Wangjun didn't pay much attention to the movement behind her at that time, and got into what she wanted.
I don't know how long it was quiet, so long that Su Wangjun thought that he had never said that sentence, and Lan Yelan spoke.
"No, you're the only one."
Hearing Lan Yelan's words, Su Wangjun's blood seemed to have solidified.
Isn't that what you think?
Su Wangjun was a little puzzled, she used to think that Su Sandi had some blood relationship with her, but now the answer made her a little confused.
These seemingly unrelated things, but at one point they were intimately connected, made her wonder what kind of memories she had lost.
In addition to Su Wangjun, who has lost his memory, there is also Su Huanyang who lives in the shadow of memory.
He still had some warmth, but it was finally broken by what Lan Yelan said.
What was he expecting? He didn't know either.
I just think that the traces of people's lives will really be erased?
So it seems that it is.
Su Huanyang was silent, holding the hand that was naturally hanging down beside him tightly, even though the green tendons on his wrist were exposed, he couldn't feel it.
Once he was upset, there was no reason for him to stay here.
"I'll go back first."
Leaving these words, he hurriedly let go of his hand, as if he was angry, and walked straight past Lan Yelan's side, leaving no eyes.
Of course, Lan Yelan knew where Su Huanyang's change in attitude came from, she wanted to keep it, but she was indifferent.
Because she chose to protect Su Wangjun again, she hurt him.
