Chapter 9: The Pampered Actress (9)
Xu Yi turned over his body, took out a pink handkerchief embroidered with "Gardenia" from his schoolbag, and handed it to him: "Wipe it." β
The boy took it in silence.
Xu Yi asked, "What's your name?" β
The boy doesn't speak.
"How old are you?"
"Where do you live?"
He didn't answer, Xu Yi blinked, gave up, and said in a harmonious voice: "I'm going to be scolded if I don't go home again, can you help me send Rhubarb home?" Then she pointed in the direction: "The one that says the king on the door is Rhubarb's house." β
After saying that, Xu Yu ran away in a hurry, and when the boy saw her leaving, he hurriedly opened his mouth: "You-"
Xu Yi turned around, smiled, and shouted, "Handkerchief for you, I'm going home quickly." β
The boy stayed where he was, his hand still outstretched, and he was arched by the rhubarb for a long time before he put down his hand lonely.
When Xu Yi went home, Xu Chuanming and Lin Qingping were both sitting in the hall, and seeing Xu Yi's panting appearance, Xu Chuanming said sharply: "Xu Yi, ladies must remember not to lose their temper." β
Xu Yi hung his head: "Yes." β
Xu Chuanming: "I went home half an hour late todayβ"
Xu Yi raised his head and wanted to explain, but Xu Chuanming's order had already come down: "Punish you to go to the back hall to think about the wall for an hour before dinner, and now go to do your homework first." β
Xu Yi took a deep breath and tried to suppress the tears that came out of his eyes: "...... Be. β
She obediently went to the study to complete her homework, and when she heard the aunt cook shouting that she could eat, she walked silently to the back hall.
It was getting late, and the stars could be seen in the sky, but Xu Yi could only see the red walls.
She didn't think she had done anything wrong, but her father didn't listen to her at all.
She was a little aggrieved, pursed her lips and blinked quickly, stubbornly not wanting to shed tears.
Suddenly, Xu Yi heard the voice of Xi Xi Suosuo, she raised her head in shock, and saw the boy lying on the wall in the afternoon staring at her in a daze.
Xu Yi said in a breathy voice: "You hurry up, I said, you don't have to return the handkerchief to me." β
The boy turned over and jumped from the wall to the back hall, stood beside Xu Yi, and said in a low voice: "Are you crying? β
Xu Yi's voice trembled: "I didn't, you should hurry up." β
The boy shook his head: "I have nowhere to go, Rhubarb brought me here." β
In fact, he used a handkerchief to let rhubarb smell all the way to find it, but it is true that there is nowhere to go.
Their home is easy to find, the largest yard in the city center, and the door plaques are all shining.
Xu Yi stretched out his hand and wiped his eyes: "You hurry up, otherwise you and I will be scolded." β
The boy stretched out his hand to return the handkerchief to her, Xu Yi took it in a daze, and asked him, "What's your name?" β
The boy shook his head.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, Xu Yi was startled, but the boy jumped onto the wall and was never seen again.
Xu Chuanming walked to her side: "Xu Yi, half an hour is here, I can go to dinner." β
Xu Yi obediently responded.
He took Xu Yi to the bright dining room, where Lin Qingping was sitting at the table, and the food on the table had not been touched at all.
Xu Chuanming said, "Let's eat," and then they moved their chopsticks together.
At the end of the meal, Xu Chuanming suddenly said: "Gardenia, my father and mother are going to the capital tomorrow to do business, and you stay in Jiangnan, huh?" β
Xu Yi moved his lips, but still didn't make a sound.
Tomorrow is her 10th birthday.
She didn't want to live alone.
But her father's inquiries have always only informed her, and she has no ability to question.
Xu Yi took the chopsticks and nodded.
Xu Chuanming is very satisfied with his well-behaved daughter.
Mom and Dad are leaving, and in such a big yard, there is no one else to accompany her except for the aunt who cooks and cleans.
Xu Yi lay on his small bed in the middle of the night, holding the quilt in his hand and silently shedding tears.
The next day, Xu's parents got in the car and left, Xu Yan watched the car go away, and it took a long time to pick up the schoolbag.
Today, the teacher dragged the class, and when she came home, the sun had already set, and the sunset was fiery red.
Xu Yi walked to the mouth of yesterday's alley, paused, and looked inside.
The boy sat on the high wall, looking down at her.
Xu Yi thought about it, pinched the strap of his schoolbag and walked over, tilted his head and said crisply: "What's your name?" β
The boy's immature voice was cold: "I don't have a name." β
Xu Yi asked again: "Where do you live?" β
The boy turned against the light and couldn't see clearly: "I don't know." β
Xu Yi put down his schoolbag and took out the house key from it: "You come down." β
The boy jumps off the wall.
"It's my birthday." Xu Yi said.
The boy stared at her, palms spread out from the fruit of the begonia flowers he had pulled down from the tree when he had just come down.
Red, like a hawthorn, but smaller than a hawthorn.
"Happy birthday," he pursed his lips, "nothing else but this, for you." β
Xu Yi took a deep breath and took the fruit from his hand.
She remembered the ancient poems she had memorized today-if you look for flowing water, turn out of Baiyunchi.
"I'll tell you to find it late in the future, if you don't have a home to go back to, then come home with me."
"You gave me fruit, and I will treat you to cake."
The light and shadow on the walls are dappled, and the leaves are blown to make a rustling sound.
The boy's bright dark eyes glistened in the setting sun.
Xu Yi picked up a playmate for himself from the alley.
I woke up from a dream.
Xu Yi sat up from the bed in a trance, looking at the snow-white wall in a daze.
Shen Chao knocked on the door, and Xu Yi only pushed the door in after answering: "I've been on a business trip in the past two days, so pay attention to yourself." β
Xu Yi agreed slowly, and Shen Chao glanced at her again before leaving.
She thought about it and decided to let the system check it: "Ask you something." She pondered the wording, "Will the souls of people who have died fall into the plane?" β
The system pondered for two seconds: "People can be reincarnated, generally speaking, souls will only fall on one plane as the next life, there have been cases you said, but it is very rare. β
Xu Yi pinched the corners of the quilt and said calmly: "You help me check, the one just now, Shen Chao, is there any of my world-" She said with some difficulty: "-That boy is called Xunchi." β
The system agreed, and then spoke: "There is another thing, that is, the Space-Time Administration is already checking the completion of your mission, and the cause of the original matching failure has been delivered, let me tell you: because the subsequent development of the plane has not developed in the original direction and deviates greatly." Above. β
After saying that, the system went offline.
Xu Yi thought about what a big deviation is, but he didn't think about anything, and it happened that the doorbell was ringing - it was Brother Qi.
Xu Yi went to open the door, and Brother Qi saw Xu Yi, who was still in a nightdress, and hurriedly held her hand: "Gardenia, let me tell you about the development of the Internet now." β
"On the one hand, there is this, the black fan who scolds you, your behavior of confessing to others on the spot is really not in line with the current society; However, the staff of the crew you filmed with Shen Chao came to talk to you before, saying that you like Teacher Xie Ying, and you also paved the way for others and praised others, so this Xie Ying's fan came to speak for you instead. Brother Qi thought about it, and in order to make Xu Yi happy and optimistic, he added: "You and Xie Ying still have cp fans, saying that one of you is a glamorous and well-behaved rabbit." β
Xu Yi now understands what it means to deviate from the original plot development: "...... I see. β
