Dad said and pulled Lu Xiaohong and I's arms, turned around and walked out the door.
The lights were left on.
It was as if my mother would really come out to eat after we left.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the moment my father turned around and closed the door, I vaguely thought I heard a gentle sigh.
There is a little bit of relief in the long time.
At this moment, I really felt that my mother was really back.
After dinner, my father connected the game console to the TV and played parkour with Coffin Xiaoen. I also pulled Shi Shi and tied her hair in pigtails. Lu Xiaohong sat on the sofa and read a book.
Not very lively, but warm and welcoming.
By the way, after Fourteen transformed into a little girl, her hair grew faster than humans. Her thick, thick black hair had almost grown to waist length.
It hangs down smoothly on the back of the head, and she looks like a little princess when she is quiet.
It's just that she has never been very quiet. When she was a golden-haired firefly, she had a wild temper. Now she always likes to follow her father and Coffin Xiaoen into crazy things, so her good hair can only be tied into small braids, otherwise it will be a mess.
She acts like a little Sadako when she makes a fuss.
As soon as I had braided Shi Shi's hair and watched her happily join her father and Coffin Xiaoen's parkour camp, I vaguely heard faint sobbing coming from outside.
Listening carefully, the sound seemed to be outside the courtyard gate.
Lu Xiaohong obviously heard it too. He put down the book in his hand and looked at me.
"It seems to be Xia Xiaobei's voice." Lu Xiaohong said softly.
"I'll go out and take a look!" I was stunned, stood up, said to Lu Xiaohong, opened the door and walked out.
I don't know when it started to rain continuously outside, and the wind was a bit cold, so I tightened my tight clothes.
Opening the courtyard door, I saw a girl sitting outside the door with her knees in her arms and leaning against the courtyard wall, her head buried between her knees, her shoulders slightly shrugged, and her cries were suppressed, as if she was afraid of being heard.
Xia Xiaobei.
She was only wearing a thin coat, and her shoulders looked very thin. I suddenly discovered that Xia Xiaobei had lost a lot of weight during this time.
He was originally a small man, but he sat there in a small ball with his knees in his hands, like an underage child.
She didn't know how long she had been sitting here. Although the rain was light, her hair was all wet, and strands stuck to her head.
"Xiao Bei, when did you come? Why didn't you go in? Didn't your fingerprints be recorded on the courtyard door lock a long time ago?" I squatted in front of Xia Xiaobei and asked softly.
Hearing my voice, Xia Xiaobei slowly raised his head. His eyes were as red and swollen as peaches, his face was full of tears, and his eyes were sad.
She looked at me blankly for two seconds, then cried out "Wow", rushed over and hugged me while crying and said: "Hu Ling, Gu Xiwen left, secretly, and left me!"
I patted her back gently, not knowing how to comfort her.
After Gu Xiwen told me that he was leaving in the afternoon, I guessed that he didn't want to take Xia Xiaobei with him.
"Let's go inside first. It's cold outside. Look, you're all wet."
I touched Xia Xiaobei's hair, and there was water dripping from it. His clothes were also damp, like a heavy rag soaked in water.
"Hu Ling, I want to go to Xiangxi to find Gu Xiwen!"
Xia Xiaobei raised her head and looked at me. When she mentioned that she was going to find Gu Xiwen, her sad eyes seemed to be shining with light.
Very fervently, she hoped that I would approve of her actions.
"If you want to go find her, you have to go inside first, take a shower and change into clean clothes. You'll get sick if you're all wet. Besides, it's so late now, and I don't know if I can buy a plane ticket at the last minute. If I really want to go, I'll have to wait until tomorrow.
Just pack up and go, right?”
I pulled Xia Xiaobei up and whispered to her.
"Hu Ling, I, actually I came here to borrow a car from you. I want to drive directly to Xiangxi to find him now!"
Xia Xiaobei was pulled towards the yard by me, while looking at me, he said with burning eyes.
I was stunned and looked at her: "Drive to Xiangxi now?"
"Um!"
Xia Xiaobei nodded heavily and said eagerly: "Don't worry, I took the driver's license test under the organization of the school last year. I drive a lot, so there will be no problems. When I arrive in Xiangxi, I will find a driver to help you."
Bring the car back, how about we make a contract, you sell the car to me first, and then I will..."
"Xiaobei, what I'm worried about is not the car, but that it's not safe for a girl like you to drive a long distance at night. Moreover, what will happen to your studies?" I took Xia Xiaobei's cold hand and said,
Pull her towards the house.
"The school has already gone on winter vacation, and I will be assigned after the internship at the beginning of the new year. I can apply to the school to be transferred to Xiangxi. If I really can't be transferred, I will give up the opportunity to be assigned and apply for a co-op police officer there." Xia
Xiaobei said without hesitation.
It seems that she has already thought about it.
If you don't hit the south wall, don't look back. If you hit the south wall, you will be smashed through by that wall!
I put my arm around Xia Xiaobei's shoulders and said softly: "Xiaobei, I'm not worried if you just go there like this. If you really want to go, I'll tell Xiaohong and we'll send you there together."
"Hu Ling!"
Xia Xiaobei looked up at me, his eyes full of surprise, "Are you really going to send me to Xiangxi to find Gu Xiwen with Brother Lu? Don't you think I'm fooling around?"
"I don't think you are fooling around. There is nothing wrong with pursuing what you love."
I took Xia Xiaobei's hand and walked into the house, pulled her into the bathroom, and took a towel to wipe her face and hair. "I always believe that if you really like someone, as long as you work hard, no matter what the outcome, there will be no
It's a pity that I am worthy of my own love.
However, before pursuing happiness, what we need to do is to ensure that we are healthy and in good condition. Only in this way will you make his eyes shine when you appear in front of him, right?
What you want that person to remember forever is your most beautiful appearance, so that he will never forget you for the rest of his life.
If you appear in front of Gu Xiwen with a miserable look, he may feel guilty or pity you, but do you hope that his feelings for you will be mercy and charity? "
Xia Xiaobei looked at me, his eyes a little dazed, and subconsciously shook his head.
"So, take a good bath first, clean yourself up, and then have a good sleep. Tomorrow morning, we will discuss going to Xiangxi, okay?"
I turned around, filled the bathtub with water, and spoke to Xia Xiaobei softly.
"Okay!" Xia Xiaobei nodded lightly.
I turned on the faucet, pulled Xia Xiaobei to the bathtub, took off her coat that could be wrung out of water, and said softly: "You wash it first, and I'll find clean clothes for you."
Xia Xiaobei nodded, and a big tear fell into the bathtub, disappearing into the large ripples in the bathtub.
There was a faint mist in the bathtub, and the warm steam was steaming. Xia Xiaobei's lips, which had turned purple due to the cold, slowly returned to their bright red color.
