Chapter 17: You don't have to pity me
"Brother, is there anything behind? What have you been looking back at? ”
Maybe it was the frequent retrospective look up and down the way, this abnormal performance attracted Zhou Xiyu's attention, and the little girl looked behind her curiously when she was holding her brother's hand and waiting for the traffic light, but unfortunately she didn't see anything.
"It's nothing, you have to follow my brother's example, you have to observe the situation around you when crossing the street, and sometimes even if it's a green light, you have to pay more attention."
Zhou Zhongqing prevaricated sloppily, and the fact is that half a body behind the brother and sister, there is a ghost following them in a majestic manner, of course, except for Zhou Zhongqing, no one else around him, including his sister, is not aware of it at all.
Although she is already a ghost who is not restricted by the law, except for when she goes to find death, Bai Yueying still abides by the laws and regulations, and it is a red light at this time, and she is also waiting obediently with her.
After becoming a ghost, except for Zhou Zhongqing, she has never been in contact with anyone else, and most of the time, she doesn't even look at other people's faces, because whether she looks at them or talks to them, she will not get any response, but will make herself uncomfortable, and the feeling of being stripped from the world should not exist is even stronger.
However, because of Zhou Zhongqing, Bai Yueying is still very curious about his sister, although his sister can't see her, but some socially fearful ghost ladies are embarrassed to stare at her sister directly, just very gentle and careful, occasionally secretly observing Zhou Xiyu.
"Zhongqing, your sister is so ......"
“……”
Zhou Zhongqing is twenty years old this year, and his sister, who has just entered the second grade, is only seven years old this year, and the brother and sister are thirteen years apart.
The difference between the figures of the brother and sister is also obvious, Zhou Zhongqing is one meter eighty-three tall, and Zhou Xiyu is so tall, every time he talks to his brother, he has to raise his little head high, and the immature little hand is also extraordinarily small, Zhou Zhongqing helped her hold the schoolbag, her free left hand grabbed her brother's two fingers, and her right hand was responsible for pointing her brother to all the curious things she saw on the road, the slightly baby fat little face was white and tender, and she loved to laugh, her black thick hair was tied in a ponytail, Those big crescent-like eyes smiled very contagiously and inexplicably healed.
"Zhongqing, your sister is so cute!"
“……”
It's obviously a little Lori who has nothing to do with herself, and at a certain moment, Bai Yueying seems to be infected by her smile, like all the beautiful budding states, which inexplicably makes people yearn for life more.
It was also interesting to listen to the chat and conversation between the brother and sister along the way, the stupid sister was full of curiosity about everything in the world, and Bai Yueying felt like she had seen a newborn dewdrop, which was so pure and transparent.
It reminded her of her childhood, but her haunting memory could not recall anything, but occasionally some small scenes flashed in her mind, such as her little dress, her school bag, the piece of eraser that could no longer be found, the classroom window swept by the setting sun, such as the big hand that also required one hand to barely hold two fingers, and the strange and distant street scene......
Suddenly realized that these flashing pictures may be the past that she can never go back to, but at this moment, it makes her feel that it is the same as yesterday within reach......
The green light turned on, and the crowd around her, like the quiet passing years, could not freeze and hurried away from her, only she stood in place in a daze.
Zhou Zhongqing glanced back at her, and her sister, who didn't know why, also looked back at the waiting line that was already empty.
Bai Yueying just woke up from a dream, ran over quickly, and followed the brother and sister again.
"That...... Zhongqing! I just remembered many, many ...... Hmmm......"
“……?”
She organized her language and thought about where she should start, but she found it as difficult as someone else described herself as a fragmented and illogical dream, and she hesitated for a long time, unable to find the thread.
Then after a short while, she blinked and finally said, "I forgot ...... again."
“…………”
Obviously walking, Zhou Zhongqing couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then sighed, he didn't have words written on his face, but his expression was clearly saying: I'm really convinced.
"What's wrong with my brother?"
"Huh? It's okay......"
"Brother, have you noticed that today doesn't seem to be so hot!"
"It doesn't seem to be as hot as usual......
Hearing his sister mention this, Zhou Zhongqing also noticed this thing that he didn't seem to pay much attention to.
In the southern city of Suzhou and Hangzhou, even if it is late September, the heat of summer has not faded at all, although it is still morning, but the sun is already quite spicy.
He looked back at Bai Yueying behind him curiously, could it be her reason?
After crossing the street, it was my sister's school for a short walk, and it was very close to home, and the normal walking speed was ten minutes away.
On weekdays, my sister doesn't go home at noon, and lunch and lunch break will be solved at school, which doesn't have to worry about Zhou Zhongqing.
There are many parents who come to see off their children at the school gate, some are full-time housewives, some are migrant workers who have to rush to work for a while, and some are retired grandparents who are idle at home.
At present, all primary school students have been relieved of their burdens, arriving at school before 8:20 a.m. and leaving school after 4 p.m.
Like the parents around him, Zhou Zhongqing told his sister while handing her the small schoolbag in his hand.
"Don't leave school if you're okay at noon, rest early after lunch, and call my brother if you have something."
"Uh-huh! Got it! ”
"Let's go inside."
"Goodbye, brother!"
Zhou Xiyu carried the small schoolbag behind her, waved her little hand to say goodbye to her brother, and then trotted towards the school, and when she ran into the school gate, she stopped again, waved her hand to her brother from a distance, and saw that the brother over there also waved to her, she turned around again and ran into the school.
It wasn't until he couldn't see his sister's figure that Zhou Zhongqing turned around and walked to the nearby subway station, and took out the Bluetooth headset and put it on as he walked, but there was no sound in the headphones.
I was finally able to talk to Miss Ghost next to me openly.
"Miss Bai Yueying."
"Huh? At! ”
“……”
How is it as if it is out of the queue!
"I said, it's useless for you to follow me all the time?"
"Hmm...... It just feels like it should follow you. ”
Zhou Zhongqing didn't know what she meant by 'feeling', maybe it was like a chick that had just come out of the shell would regard the first creature it saw in front of her as its mother, the only connection between its own existence and the world?
"I can honestly tell you that although I agreed to your request, I actually have no idea how to kill you."
"Huh? But you haven't tried it yet......"
"I don't think I need to try this kind of thing, I can't help it."
"Y-You try!"
Bai Yueying's eyes lowered, and she looked please, please: "You don't have to pity me, you can do anything excessive to me!" As long as it kills me! ”
“……”
You seem to be really wrong, hey!!
