He wants to know even more...does this white-haired girl...really know Crow Crow?
He spent so much time with Crow Crow...
He had no idea that Crow Crow had such a friend...
…
He suddenly realized...
In this situation……
He suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
that time……
He has only Crow Crow as a friend.
He is the one who needs Crow Crow's company even more.
But in the end...it was he who abandoned Crow Crow...
The boy's nails dug into his palms.
A slight pain penetrated the nerve.
But it couldn't compare to the suffocation in his heart at this moment.
…
He understood why he did what he did.
If I had to do it again...
The boy was stunned.
He found……
Even if we had to do it again...
He doesn't know if he has the courage to make another choice...
This realization made his emotions feel like a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.
He shivered all over.
…
"Cold?"
Noticing the boy's trembling, Xiao Xiao asked aloud.
Although the temperature is rising now.
sunny.
But there is still a slight chill in the air.
The chilly aftertaste of spring has not completely dissipated.
…
Xiao Xiao looked at the boy's clothes.
Wearing a jacket over a hoodie.
It doesn't look thin.
…
"ah?"
The boy was stunned.
"I'm not cold."
He didn't understand why the elder brother asked this?
…
"Yeah?"
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows lightly.
It seemed that he had misunderstood the boy's trembling just now.
That's not because it's cold.
In other words, it was also because of the cold.
But it's not the coldness of the outside world.
But...in my heart.
Why?
Xiao Xiao looked at the boy who suddenly died.
I was obviously very excited just a moment ago.
Why did you suddenly feel depressed at this time?
…
"There is news about Crow Crow..."
Xiao Xiao asked directly, "Are you unhappy?"
…
"how come?"
the boy blurted out.
How could he be unhappy?
After searching for so long, he finally mentioned Crow Crow's name to someone again... He finally found out the news about Crow Crow...
He was simply overjoyed, okay?
…
"You don't look happy."
Xiao Xiao speaks out.
…
The boy subconsciously touched his face.
So...obvious?
He wanted to smile.
But after realizing the bitterness in his smile, he bent his lips as if giving up.
His shoulders also slumped.
It seems... it's really obvious.
…
"You don't want to know about Crow Crow?"
Xiao Xiao tilted his head slightly.
Ling Feng and Xiao Xiao tilted their heads slightly almost simultaneously.
Xiao Xiao was the curious boy's answer.
Ling Feng didn't understand why Master Xiao Xiao stopped asking half of the questions he asked it?
…
"How can it be?"
The boy blurted out again.
Immediately, he pursed the corners of his mouth tightly.
He knew that his answer was very contradictory to his performance.
"I……"
The boy bowed his head.
His troubled expression was reflected in the tea cup.
"...Chouya and I have known each other since we were very young..."
The boy suddenly started telling a story.
…
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows lightly.
He made no sound.
He has always been a good listener.
…
"I was isolated in my class when I was a child..."
Although it was a thing of the past, the boy still frowned tightly when he mentioned that gray memory again.
"My father left home one day and never came back..."
The boy tried to speak as calmly as possible.
For him, the emotions he should have regarding this matter have indeed been diluted in the long river of time.
"Unknown reason."
The boy twitched his lips.
"Some people say...my father committed a crime and was caught..."
"Some people say...my father is having an affair..."
"Anyway... rumors were flying around at that time."
The boy's fingers rubbed the side of the tea cup.
He looked down at the tea.
"Everyone is pointing fingers at me and my mother..."
"At that time, I would always meet the grandparents, uncles and aunts I knew as neighbors. They all shook their heads at me with sympathy on their faces."
"Calling me a poor child..."
"Remind me to listen to my mother..."
"Otherwise...if my mother doesn't want me, I will become an orphan."
The corners of the mouth of the boy's face reflected in the tea cup twitched.
He was still young at that time and had no idea why the familiar people around him suddenly became uneasy and strange to him.
He was panicked.
He pulled on his mother's clothes and asked where his father was.
He was crying for his father.
That time was the first time he saw his mother so collapsed and hysterical.
The sharp sound impacted his brain.
The only sentence he heard clearly was...
Dad doesn't want them anymore.
…
Why?
He doesn't understand.
Why doesn't dad want them anymore?
But he didn't dare to ask.
His mother's appearance frightened him.
Mom even forgot to cook that day.
He is so hungry.
But I didn’t dare to tell my mother.
He rummaged through some random snacks at home and devoured them, which was considered dinner.
Lying in bed at night, he wrapped himself tightly in quilt.
I fell asleep in fear and hesitation.
…
Fortunately, my mother returned to normal the next day.
Made breakfast for him.
As usual, remind him not to leave anything behind.
Send him to the door of his house.
He can go to school on his own after one week of school, and does not need to be sent to school by his mother.
He behaved extremely well.
He likes this kind of mother.
He doesn't want his mother to be like yesterday.
My mother was terrible yesterday.
…
He went out in a happy mood.
Because my mother has changed back.
But soon, his happy mood was overshadowed.
Because the classmates in the class have changed.
Just like those grandparents, uncles and aunts.
Just looking at him with more naked eyes.
They were in groups, whispering.
And he was the one who was excluded.
He is not an extrovert by nature.
Because of the inexplicable scruples in his heart, he couldn't even take the initiative to ask what they were talking about.
He could only freeze in his position.
Pretending to look through the textbook in front of him.
In fact, he didn't see anything.
Pretending not to hear anything.
In fact, he really only heard a few words.
He just felt a buzzing in his ears.
Very noisy.
Very noisy.
Just like his messy heart.
…
There has never been a moment when he felt that the school bell sounded so beautiful.
…
His life has changed.
From the day he never saw his father again.
At that time, he didn't really understand why there was such a change?
…
His mother later told him that his father was traveling.
I traveled to far away places.
He endured it, but still couldn't help asking his mother: When will dad come back?
Since you are going on a trip, you will always come back, right?
